This is a gorgeous decorative boot shaped pillow made from a lovely original 1930's soft cotton printed fabric with a gorgeous blue floral design on a white background. The reverse of the boot is a plain powder blue pure linen. I have finished the boot with two vintage pearlised blue glass buttons. The pillow is firmly filled purely with a generous amount of the best French dried lavender and it measures approx. 19cm tall and 18cm across at the widest points. It looks beautiful propped up on a mantelpiece or shelf, dressing table or windowsill; or simply placed on a chair and it makes a welcoming fragranced sachet on a guest bed atop a pile of feather pillows....
All of the creations that you see are unique, one-off pieces handmade by me and are inspired by my love of all things vintage ~ especially textiles and haberdashery. Hand-dyed threads, vintage linen, faded florals, velvet, silk and wool; tiny glass, diamante, enamel and pearl buttons; beads, ribbons and jewels ~ these are a few of my favourite things..... Many of the ingredients I use are old and have been loved and used in a previous life, therefore there may be inherent natural flaws and signs of age that are part and parcel of 'vintage' materials. This gently faded, worn and slightly shabby appearance is an important part of their beauty and I believe only add to their charm and are the very reason that they appeal to me ~ and hopefully to you too! I will always be clear to describe any obvious major flaws, but please look at the photos in addition to the written description and I am very happy to answer any specific questions that you may have. I undertake special commissions ~ please ask for more information ~ especially if you are looking for a specific monogram and I will do my best to help! Please note that you are bidding only for the item described in the title ~ many of the additional items shown in the photos are for sale and may also be listed at the same time. Please view my other items for sale and save me in your favourites list as I am a passionate stitcher and continually creating new designs!
