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!

Ok, you win the prize! What a clever idea. I'm going to look at napkins in a whole new way from now on.
Looks beautiful. I also use large napkins for chair seats. So affordable when you catch them on sale!
you said you would show us, i know i wanted to see the after :)
well glory be, those just sing spring :) and yes yes yes, the napkins are the best frugal use...love it and the color!!
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
They look great. I have several oversized napkins I did not know what to do with them. Wonderful idea.
Oh, I never thought to use napkins. I have some great ones that I might be able to do something with....thanks for the great idea! Happy Pink Saturday!
Oh, they are just simply fabulous!!! BUT - - - now I want to see them WITH the little table. We, your bloggy fans, are just NEVER satisfied, are we???
LOVE the new header photo.
Awesome use of materials and products on hand! Love that!! Go green to make it clean.

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 ;-)

Your chairs look fabulous...puts new meaning to "the napkin is on the chair".
Are you going to be able to put this wonderful patio set for sale?
Oh, so pretty, Dixie! I don't see how you can bear to put those in your booth.
oH, so pretty...perfectly pink for spring...down there in French Lique, Texas.

Nice idea using napkins for chair pads. I used window curtains for the same thing.

I ♥ to come here on Pink Saturday. Your blog is always so sweet and comforting. Cold and gloomy winter up here this year so Pink Saturday is one day I can always count on for a little pink ray of sunshine.
Maybe if you ask pretty please she'll fulfill your desire...
Thanks for being my pink sunshine today☺
Wishing you the comfort and warmth of those you love this weekend.
Gmorn, Dixie ~ WOW!! Popsicle colors!
What a punch of color to enjoy. Great idea with the napkins.
Have a beautiful week.
