Love peacocks! The cottage colors make my heart beat faster...
And when the bedspreads wear out make pillows.
Some of my favorite eBay sellers specializing in popcorn chenille creations are Sassy Cat Creations, Peace By Piece, Beth's Cottage, Perfectpielady to name a few. eBay is a wealth of possibilities when you're looking to build a collection.

I'm also an admirer of your chenille collection. We had them over here too, but somehow they just vanished from earth. We are with so many people in such a small country that a lot of vintage things just haven't been kept apparantly. But where are they? Well, I sure did like looking at yours, thanks!

Wowowow--your bedspreads are gorgeous! I like what you do with them too--such a cute pillow, and the little duck is so sweet!

Your chenille collection is wonderful. I have a bear my grandmother made out of an old chenille bedspread that once belonged to my great-grandmother.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment!

Be still my heart, look at that gorgeous chenille. I have started collecting pieces for sewing the last year or so and I have had a hard time parting with it:)
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.

The peacocks are fantastic! I used to raise peafowl and had a collection of peacock linens too. I am wishing I'd held on to them, but now they are long gone.

Love the chenille spreads, how gorgeous are those peacocks! I have a think for real live peacocks and their stunning feather colours, these are the next best thing for sure
