While visiting the Gold Coast this week I found an amazing Op Shop. I say this because I found an $8 bargain and I thought I would share it with you. I picked up a Queen Doona Cover and two pillow slips in a discontinued vintage Cath Kidston print. I understand this print was sold through Ikea. I love this print and in a creative mood....what to do with it?
I had a lampshade in the lounge which was just waiting for a makeover. It was a plain cream colour- a canvas for me.
Grabbed the glue gun and fabric adhesive, chopped up a pillowcase and voila, instant change!! Love it!!
I added white braiding and a handmade beaded fringe I bought on Etsy a few months ago.

What to do with the rest? mmmmm..
A bayside moment for you...
