Hand beaded hangers

I was looking for some cute hangers for my laundry room to add a pop of colour, so thought I would have a go at beading some wire dry cleaning hangers I had lying around. I bought a selection of beads in pink, blue, green and white to match my bird trail curtain fabric. The beaded hangers were quick and easy to make and I love how they turned out. I think they look like candy, and if you're a regular reader of my blog you know how much I love candy!

All Things White

This week on "Wonderful World of Etsy" I bring you some gorgeous vintage white treasures from aptly named Etsy store, All Things White. This summer's fashion trend of white on whites is pure, elegant perfection. The key is in the texture and the subtle shades of white from the pretty cutwork, broderie anglaise pieces to the crinkle texture of sheer cheesecloths. The same is true of using white in your interiors.

• Vintage trim mini sampler
• Alphabet vintage game pieces
• Vintage ironstone platter
• Sweet vintage bird
