Lilly Pulitzer Chair Seats... for Pink Saturday...

Well... you asked for it and here it is... The pretty apple green chairs, newly painted, with the seats covers done in pretty PINK Lilly Pulitzer fabric... my secret, you promise not to tell?

The fabric was actually large dinner napkins I purchased last summer... on close-out sale at Marshalls... I loved the colors... but didn't know what I was going to do with them... sometimes, things just come together...

Pssssttttt.... I have two extra napkins... wonder if I could get my sweet sister to sew up a couple of throw pillows for me before she goes back to Mississippi... I think they'd look fabulous sitting in those pretty green chairs!

Have a beautiful PINK Saturday...

and for more Pink Saturday, please visit the wonderful Miss Beverly at How Sweet the Sound... There is so much more to see!

Happy Pink Saturday from down here in French Lique!

  4. Happy Pink Saturday Dixie...
    Sweetie I so love these chairs and aren't napkins just the best. (I also find beautiful linen type tea towels that I use quite often.)

    The are just perfect for your chairs and I hope your Sis can sew you up a couple of throw pilloes as that would be just devine. Maybe you could get her to add some apple green little ball fringe around the edges?

    I love it. Thank you for sharing. Please stop by and say hi. I love it when you do. Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

  9. I bit Lili is at the sewing machine right now whipping up some cuties. I mean with that new sewing box she picked up yesterday...I'm glad she saw it before I did. I was saved several times from draggin' more stuff home to my little junk yard.
    It was fun yesterday, thanks for the lunch treat and hope the new location proves a winner!
    Off to take care of Saturday chores.
    Stay warm ;-)
