We found this fixture at Lowes. I like that it still has some sparkle but in a little different, more contemporary shape. (Its really much prettier than my photos show.)
Little crystal daisies spread out across the ceiling on airy stems.
And on a completely different note...
So, here's what I've done with those gorgeous fabrics I showed you in the last post. I sewed up another of my Linen Sash Totes and used a combo of Garden Party fabrics for the sash and a Bellbottoms Block print for the interior. Both of the prints coordinate beautifully with the golden yellow lining fabric, but with each side of the sash the bag takes on a different personality.And with multiple ways of tying, knotting, folding, cinching, and pinning its like having several bags in one.
I also picked up some metal rivets to try on my next bag. I was able to find a store that carried them just minutes from me, thanks to Stephanie of Lulu's Cottage. :)
I've been playing around with them this weekend and I'll show you the results in a future post. Enjoy the weekend, everone!
Oh, before I leave I just wanted to let the Typepad bloggers know that for some reason I can't get my comments to post on some your blogs?? I press POST and that little wheel thing goes around and around (which tells me its doing something) but it never finishes. :(
If anyone knows what I can do to fix that on my end, please let me know. Thanks!

Oh, I just might have to get a new light for our guest bedroom . . . or maybe my own too! That is soooo pretty.
The sash on the bags looks very elegant. Well done!

I love that lamp! I am going to look at my Lowe's! The bags are fabulous!
OMG I love that chandelier. It is so vintage looking and romantic at the same time.
Your bags are out of this world.
I am making a bag right now and I'd be lucky if it even came close to looking that perfect!
YOu do fabulous work.
Just a first time visitor. I think your new light fixture is divine. and your bags are great as well. TTFN
I wouldn't have guessed you got that lamp fixture at Lowes. It looks like one you picked up at a great little antique store. Lovely!
The sashes on the bags are great!
Kimberly, I LOVE your light fixture!!! I've been looking for something similar for our bedroom. What a great fixture.
We had the CO this week so it's been a busy one. Hope you're doing ok!

Holy cow. I was at Lowes a couple weekends ago..for ice melt:>..and couldn't leave without looking. I saw that cieling lamp then and thought...that'd be great on our covered porch ceiling. Made a mental note and went on drooling. I walk thru that department with my head up, Jim says he's amazed how I get around with falling or knocking people over. Great choice!
The bags as always..beautiful.
Beautiful light!!
I love it!!
Thanks for sharing,

That light fixture is pretty fantastic! I cannot believe that you got it at Lowe's.
Very nice! Great fixture and bags!!
Hi Kimberly--
Thanks for checking in at the blog and leaving a note! I really enjoy hearing from you.
I did have a great week! Back to normal now, though. Your new light fixture is perfect! And the bags are fab!
I'm off to check out your stores. Please keep in touch---
That light fixture is INCREDIBLE! SO perfect for my house (that I don't have yet ;). I may have to run and look for that.
And your totes are simply AMAZING! Thanks for sharing! :)
Ooooh !!! I just LOVE your new light fixture...so pretty!
Your sash bags are a wonderful idea--you're brilliant!
Smiles, Karen
Seriously? Lowes?!? That's just amazing...and it would look perfect in my house! Might have to follow your lead. I just discovered your blog from Freda's Hive - and I love it! Love the purse and the fabrics - now if only I had time to sew! xo, Nan
The sash tote is awesome! You should market these...I LOVE the aqua sash with the vintage bauble!
