Hi friends
I took a few photos today of my antique lampshades and millinery hat that I recently dyed with Rit dye.
I was inspired by my talented friend Tausha's blog Simply Me . Tausha uses Rit dye on alot of her linens and lampshades and they turn out so beautiful.
The antique lampshades were a drab cream colour before.
I think they're so much prettier in pink.
I bought some fresh flowers which just happen to be the same shade of lovely pink
~ Thanks for the inspiration Tausha ~
I just added a few vintage Shabby Chic items to my Etsy Shop today too..
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Rachel
