I Heart Barkcloth



Years ago I purchased two barkcloth drapery panels from a local
antique shop.  I am taking them to the new house.  Not sure what
I will do with them because they are only 34 inches wide.





Of course I could always make pillows from them, or just save
the fabric for a beach house on the gulf one day (wish, wish).
I have always been fond of barkcloth with it's easy going
beachy feel.  It's a favorite thing!

Happily Joining ~

Pink Saturday
A Favorite Thing


Bentley ~ are you ready to help out at your grandma's
garage sale tomorrow???

Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Beautiful barkcloth! Pillows...chair covers...makeup bag... Decisions, decisions. :-)

    Good luck with the garage sale this weekend! If you get a chance afterwards (when you're recovering), stop by and take my Reader Survey if you haven't already.

    I love bark cloth too Susan - it's having a great revival worldwide it seems.
    It's a beautiful floral and the colors could go in any room.
    Perfect for the beach house on the gulf I think!!! Bentley agrees with me!

    We used to have draperies like that. I didn't know the name of the material. I love it too. Have fun at your garage sale and hope you sell lots.
