Feed sack pillows, Junk Bonanza, Creative Connection Event, Minneapolis












This past Fall, I was so fortunate to be able to go to Junk Bonanza, and the Creative Connection event in Minneapolis. So many treasures!





I was fascinated with the Feed sack pillows.





These are my favourite, burlap with a Parisian flair! Seen at a booth at The Handmade Fair at the Creative Connection event.







These cushions looked so great in the living room at the Bachman's Fall Idea house.




I knew sooner or later, I would come across some feed sacks, so I could make my own pillows.







Here's some cushions I just made today, soft, time worn, and so Vintage. Part of a line we are introducing - Opa Overmeer's Farm Goods, in memory of my father-in-law, Ted Overmeer.







Here's my version of the feed sack pillow, these are square, the size of a euro sham. I'm thinking they will be perfect on the deck of a Summer cottage or Camp.








Come visit The Camellia at the Spring Home & Garden show, at the CLE, in the Coliseum. APRIL 1,2, 3rd. The feed sack pillows should be finished by then , and will be for sale at our booth.

Shopping at Distillery District, Toronto, On














Lucky for me, I was just at the Distillery District in Toronto. Here are some photos for those of you who have yet to visit. There are some great Antique stores, chocolate shops, the Vintage Gardener, and much, much more. There were also 3 Wedding parties there, on the Saturday I visited.
