cushionmania......

I have quite a few cushions at home, i especially like the natural linen cushions, so i decided to add a new one to my collection.

(on the left side one made by my mum with an antique monogram heart)

I made this one using heavy french linen fabric and i stencilled the word "Maison' and a big Fleur de Lys on the top in a purple shade....

Maybe some will be available later in my shop on etsy....not sure.... but if you want to buy fabulous cushions , i would suggest a visit to Marleyandlockyer on etsy....

On our last trip to Italy, i went to a wonderful shop in Bologna, can't remember the name, but it had a few items from Le Vestiaire de Jeanne and i fell in love with this brand, i bought some summer clothing items for my daughter, knowing that this brand is not available in Australia , but i think that you can order online directly from the website....
