Faded Curtain Charm


My beautiful, shabby chic, french country curtains.  I found them a few weeks ago at a thrift store.  They were $3.79 per panel.  Yes, you read that right!  They are not factory made but were custom made for someone, at sometime.

 

 
And yes, they are lined!  Martha Stewart has a tutorial on how to fade curtains to give them a vintage, sundyed look by soaking them in bleach.  These came ready faded :)
 Here is my little french gem I purchased yesterday and love... 
 
 
Now off to deliver more Girl Scout cookies, which really don't fit in with my new dining room "look"! 
Cheers,
Suzanne
