Last weekend several neighbors had garage sales and at one of them I got lucky!
I got two red toile pillow shams. Initially I bought them thinking they’d look great on the living room couch and be oh so comfy for naps and reading. But they didn’t work out there – they were just too big.
So I’ve put them in the guest bedroom/office for the time being.
I usually never pass up any toile since I know I can use it in practically any room in my house and make it work!
I don’t normally go to garage sales as I’m more of a thrift store shopper. Basically because I like to sleep in on the weekends! But I usually stop at neighborhood garage sales since I’m passing by them any way (besides it’s a good way to get to meet the neighbors).

I’m so glad I took the time to stop and look around. This was definitely a lucky find!
P.S. I do believe these are part of the Country Living Collection from Sears/KMart

Well Alison, maybe something can be arranged…I’ve always wanted to visit England.. Maybe something ala “The Holiday” (smile).

Janie says
I really like them. I Love the little bedside table in that room too. Nice color.
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
Those are great, Manuela! Nice find! They look perfect on the bed. I’m like that, too. I very rarely do yard/garage sales. Although, I think I’d be more prone to stop at one if I passed by then I would have been before blogging.
Debbie says
It might as well have had a “To Manuela” sign instead of a price tag! I agree that anything pretty and toile should be snatched up.
admin says
LOL! I suppose they should have just dropped them off at my house!

matty says
So pretty! I have tried to post on the garden entry, but couldn’t for some reason… I love the hose guide! So cute!
Donna, The Decorated House says
Those are perfect in your home! So pretty in the bedroom.
It was so exciting seeing your veggies! We haven’t grown vegetables in years and just started again this year. So far it’s going very well. Your zucchini is fabulous. Hopefully we will have them next year because we love eating them. GA soil is much better at holding moisture than our sand, but I have high hopes.
Marcia says
They look perfect on that beautiful bedspread!
Blessings,
Marcia

Gorgeous pillows, I love toile too. I was looking at some toile fabric in a Fabric Store today and it is VERY expensive. So you did very well picking those up! Plus they look lovely on that bed.
