Penny's Vintage Home: Rag Garland

I have been working on some garlands in the evening while watching a little TV. Since DWTS is over, we have been watching AGT. Anyway, this morning I decided to hang one of my garlands on the front of the piano.

The before photo shows how the top of the piano has looked sine I removed all the bunnies and Easter décor a long, long time ago! That's all I did....remove the bunnies and leave the rest "as is"...lol!

I have really enjoyed making these garlands, and my stash of scrap fabric is beginning to get under control.

I added a rag flower and some pleated pink trim to my garland to give it a little bling.

I made a vignette on the piano top using some rose plates, a dried bouquet in a vintage salt shaker, and a cute 50's poodle.

I wanted to use this "new to me" vintage lamp in my vignette that I bought at a local consignment store last week.

I thought it was lovely and the price was sure right!

I added some candle light to the other end of the piano, and my vignette was finished!

Penny,
Love the garland and everything in this sweet vignette!!
AGT is one of our favorite shows to watch in the Summer!! It is going to be a good season with so much outstanding talent!
I only had one day off in 8 so this is my bad week. I will be off the weekend but I am going to the town where our church is located to the town wide yard sales after work Saturday morning!! I had a blast last year so I am looking forward it this year...

hugs,
Debbie

I love our style of "second hand" and giving something old a new life! I remember seeing those poodles way back..and they are still cute as heck!

Penny, I really like rag garland, and yours looks so pretty with the yellow mixed in with the pink. This caught my eye on Pink Saturday, so I was happy to catch up with you once I saw it.

The garland is very sweet and I love the shabby flower that you added. Do you rip the fabric or cut it? The lamp is lovely. What a find! You put everything together so nicely.. Have a beautiful day~
