I have to admit that I've become enamored with all things French, especially French grainsacks. I look for them on Etsy and Ebay, at flea markets and barn sales. Gotta be honest here ~ I haven't found a French grainsack for less than $90+ dollars. A little out of my league, to say the least. Enter Target.
Recently I've seen this Target dish towel all over blogland, but I have to say that I FOUND IT FIRST PEOPLE, I SWEAR! Seriously, I bought mine over a month ago (that's early August, people) knowing that I'd stumbled upon pure gold as soon as I saw them. I bought two at $3.99 each. My only regret is that I didn't buy more! They seem to be sold out all over. (H-E-L-L-O, of course they're sold out!)
I knew from the get-go I wanted to make pillows. So I measured the towels and then went searching for some pillow inserts. Lucky for me, I already had two neglected pillows that were perfect for the job!
Stitch witchery is your friend, I always say!
I also picked up some precut Duck fabric at Wal-Mart (did you know they're selling fabric again?) to use as the back side of the pillow.
It was a nice match color-wise, and I think it worked out really well. And now, the piece de resistance.
I'm really loving it, and plan on making another one soon. And who knows? Ten more followers and there might just be a Target French grainsack pillow in your future! I smell a giveaway!
Hope you liked the pillow, and maybe ~ just maybe~ you'll have some luck finding these towels at a Target store near you. Bonne Chance!
And now on to last week's features and Club G.W. No. 13.
Thanks to all who joined in last week. Please know that I really do try to get back and comment on each and every blog. Unfortunately, I can't comment on your blog if your comments are not set up to be in a separate pop-up window (as opposed to embedded below the post). I don't believe I'm the only one with this Blogger problem, although I'm not sure why....you can easily change the settings through your Blogger dashboard page if you so desire.
Okay, lots of great stuff last week, but here's a few finds that I'd like to share with you today.
Craigslist and 2 bins of broken china later.....check this out over @ My Trinkets
Betsy @ My Salvaged Treasures really scored big on some nifty thrifty finds! Love these wooden rulers, don't you?
Well, ladies, go on and grab yourself a "Charm Bracelet Diva Featured Me!" button from my top right sidebar. Then please join in Party No. 13 below! You know the drill:
Link up your thrifty finds, and your thrifty find re-dos.
Please link back to your post and not to your blog's main URL.
Please mention the party somewhere in your post or place the party button on your sidebar. That way others can find out where the party is and join in!
I'd love for you to become a follower so you don't miss the next party!
And be sure to visit the other party guests! (It's the right thing to do, y'all!)
Can't wait to see what you've got this week!
Oh yeah, and I'm on Facebook now (Shocker, I know!) Show me some Facebook love (Or should I say "Like"??)
I'm even on Twitter. Yes, you read that right.
