Battenburg Pillows





I adore the intricate beauty of Battenburg lace.







I love most lace, but this is my absolute favorite kind.

Maybe because it isn't TOO girlie - it's just simply beautiful.






This is a very "green" section of our garden - there is a huge Butterfly Bush (more like a tree, actually) behind this seat that hasn't bloomed yet. I know I really do need to plant more color in this section, but for now it is just a simple green backdrop to show off this pretty set on my metal garden chair.




Please join the fun!

    I love that little seat, Michele, and the pillows look so romantic on it. I had a butterfly bush that was like a tree back in NY, too. That thing was huge! When it did come into bloom, I had butterflies like you would not believe. I could just sit and watch them for the longest time. I'm looking forward to the butterfly house opening at the arboretum near me in July.

    Michele! I totally agree, I don't think it is over the top girlie but it is still so incredibly pretty. Beautiful pillows. :)

    Battenburg lace is so pretty & your pillows are lovely. I just bought a pillow at an estate sale a few weeks ago & I love it.

    Hello Michele
    Battenburg is my favourite too. My bedroom has doilies and pillow covers in this lace. I've been looking for a bed skirt, right now I have eyelet lace but I'll find one some day.

    Battenburg lace is elegant...my daughter has pillow shams and a dresser scarf adorned with it.
    Have a great week!

    Michele, that area of your garden is lovely with the gorgeous chair and the lace pillows. You and I must be kindred spirits because I adore Battenburg lace. It seems I just have to buy it when I find it on a pillowcase, tablecloth or some other pretty piece. Thank you, Michele for being a regular at my party. You are someone with such pretty things to share and I enjoyed your visits to the party each time you came. Don't forget about me 'cause I will be at Cozy Home Scenes just as usual. Until next time-------- Shannon

    Michele I love Battenburg lace too !
    Your's looks beautiful against that green chair. I have a beautiful big Butterfly Bush (Budlea) in our front garden. It is a white bloomer and when it's in flower the most beautiful pale blue butterflies flock to it in droves. I love it and it's very easy to strike cuttings from in case you fancy another bush or 2.
