Vintage Lilac Elegant Spring Paper Plate

Whether you're hosting a spring tea, bridal luncheon, or Mother's Day celebration, this lilac-themed paper plate brings vintage charm and floral grace to your table. Available in dessert, dinner, and bowl sizes

 

The Story Behind the Design

This isn’t just a printed plate it’s a handcrafted visual experience. The vintage lilac flowers began as original watercolor illustrations, each one carefully cut out and arranged into a bouquet. The final composition was compressed to resemble a photograph, giving the plate a lifelike depth and softness. A lavender border was added to echo the lilac tones, and a delicate gold filigree illustration frames the design, lending a timeless, heirloom feel.

Beautiful Victorian Rose Tapestry Accent Pillow

 Accent the décor of your living room or bedroom with a beautiful Victorian Rose Tapestry Pillow.  Buy this pillow for yourself or as a gift for that special someone.  You may personalize this pillow with your initial monogram or other text.

This beautiful Victorian rose accent pillow was created from a photo that I found on a public domain website that had tapestry vintage wallpapers.  The website stated that the photos were of actual wallpaper that was found in Vintage Victorian homes that dated back to the 1890s. 

Many of the photographs were of poor quality and I suspect due to the age of the wallpaper the photos looked faded and there must have been creases in the wallpaper as they showed up in the swatch photo.

I searched through all of the photographs and found one Victorian rose tapestry that I did like.  It was nearly perfect and I did love the mauve-colored roses that spilled over a gold urn. There was also gold filigree that complemented the roses and the urn.  The design reminded me of a tapestry that could have hung in a grand home or castle.

Know that I did edit the photo to bring out the gold and mauve colors.  I also cut out vintage roses and added them to the photo.  The flowers were compressed into the photo and here is the finished pillow design.

Vintage Style Beaded Valentine's Day Pillow

This year I thought I would feature my friend Sandyspiders vintage home décor pillows because they are perfect for anyone who has a vintage theme for their home.

Sandy has many vintage products at her print on demand shop, greeting cards, gift wrap, throw blanket, wrapping paper and more.  Whenever I visit her shop I go to look at her home decor and find that her retro pillows are lovely.  Here is the ornate throw pillow that Sandy designed.  It can also be viewed in the digital home set design. 

If you love vintage décor then you will want to decorate your living room with this exquisite pillow.

Heart Ornaments in a Beaded Wreath Pillow 

This year she designed a medium burgundy color pillow that has multiple colored beaded wreath that surrounds a singular red heart.  This pillow looks like it belongs in a turn of the century Victorian home. Yes, I can see it on a tufted high back sofa in a parlor where the ladies go to sip their afternoon tea.  I can also see this pillow on top of the bed in a guest room or in the doll room.  

The pillow comes in many sizes and the largest size is big enough for your kids to sit on, so no worries if the floor is cold.    Throw pillows have a variety of uses, from the decor to sleeping and yes oh so comfortable for your kids to sit on.
