15 Vintage Floral Printables

These 15 Vintage Floral Printables have been in the works for a bit now. I'm so happy with how they turned out. Their watercolor and buffalo check designs are lovely in any decor. Grab these floral printables below and make a fun statement in your own home. 

Farmhouse Printables
It's been several weeks of floral printables and we're going out with a bang today! And y'all, I think this set of vintage prettiness may just be my very favorite. Each and every print is a statement on its own. They're fantastic displayed individually, or together in a large grouping (I just framed a bunch to place on my mantel). For design reasons, these are only available in our popular 8x10" design. But, this also makes these a breeze to print at home. You can grab this entire bundle for $5 here in my shop or directly through the button below.


You can also see the details of some of these prints below.

The watercolor hydrangea on each recipe card is kind of discreetly in the top left corner of these cards...so there is plenty of space for your recipe writing. I've also made these available in two sizes: the standard 3x5 recipe card and a 4x6 version, too (because some recipes can be long, right?). Download yours below.

Colorful Art in the Home

This post for Colorful Art in the Home contains affiliate links and is brought to you by Minted. I make a small portion when these links are used, at no additional cost to you. All opinions are mine.

Our piano corner was feeling a bit ho-hum lately. We added some fun colorful art and accessories to give it a little zip. I think this is the first piece of abstract artwork we've ever owned...and now we're in love with it. See how simple this space, with its new colorful art, was to put together.  

If you've been by here before, you probably know that we love color in our home. The brighter the better...I mean, we have a bright blue sectional, y'all. But in this main room of the house, things are not as colorful (well, up until now, anyway). I'm trying to integrate small touches here and there to punch up the colorful factor. We started here in our little piano corner by adding colorful art and fun pieces. See how it all came together below.

Chrysanthemum Thank You Cards

As I mentioned on my Instagram earlier this week, I had begun creating an entire printable series for July back in June, starting with these Chrysanthemum cards. The three cards featured in today's post were created the night before we lost my mom...she would have loved them. The series is a bit delayed, and a bit sparse, but this is the first of it and I am dedicating it to her sweet memory.

Hope you enjoy these three free printable Chrysanthemum Thank You Cards.

Floral Thank You Card Printables
I think Chrysanthemums are seriously gorgeous flowers with all of their layers of petals and rich color. They tend to be more of a fall flower. But, when my Chrysanthemum plants came back to me in my planters this summer, I knew I wanted them to be a part of my floral printable series this month. Grab one or all of these below.

Blind Hem Stitch Tutorial

This Blind Hem Stitch Tutorial is brought to you by Laura Ashley USA. All opinions and designs are mine alone.

Are you familiar with a Blind Hem Stitch? It's a great one to use on draperies, pants, and slacks. This type of stitch is designed to be nearly invisible. It's simple to create on a home sewing machine, too. Check out my Blind Hem Stitch tutorial below.


Sewing a Blind Hem Stitch
Today, I'm sharing how to create a blind hem stitch on drapery panels. It's great to create that "hidden seam" at the bottle of your drapery panels. And it's also just a nice seam to know how to sew. Check out the Blind Hem Stitch Tutorial below.
