{curtains&camellias}

Pink Camellias have made their way inside to the kitchen island.

One delightful outcome of adding this humble vintage piece is that 

 it is in a fabulously sunny spot for photographs.

You have been forewarned my darlings.

Last night I ironed those tab cafe curtains in the window. 

We found them at the Catholic Thrift Store for a few dollars. 

The window needed some softening.

They need hemming but for now they can be as 

caddy wampus as the island and me for that matter.

Here is a close up of the pattern.

 I like it and they are from Ikea from the worn label.

 The camellias almost look like three fluffy cupcakes.

We feel as if our little kitchen received a mini low budget make over. 

It feels very cozy and we both can chop vegetables within a foot of the sink and cook together.

And Dear Lord, I might share a recipe tomorrow. 

That scares me by the way.

joy and peace
