Country Living Images

These are some beautiful images from the latest Country Living magazine. I think this garden is amazing. Look at the size of those dahliahs...wow.

I can't keep the weeds out of my garden, I can't imagine the work involved in this organic garden!

I love the combo of this bookshelf , painted in black....and the crazy quilt upholstered chair.

What a great....and inexpensive idea for a coat rack!

Another great purse !

Isn't this the cutest? I love the big size

(they call it a laundry bag), and the

ruffles. You can see the rest of

Frenchy Bag

I’ve been looking at so many great patterns online for handbags. I really like Amy Butler’s collection. Mom brought me a pattern last week for this very cute “frenchy bag”. It can be made as a shoulder bag or a hand bag.

For the first attempt I used this cool vintage cowboy barkcloth fabric. Granny gave it to me…it used to be curtains in my uncles bedroom when he was a boy! I’m really happy with it. I think next I’ll try some cute flowery summer prints in fun colours.
