Another burlap beauty..................

It's amazing how something utilitarian.....in this case a coffee sack, can be restored to a new life as something stylish for the home.  With burlap and rustic textured fabrics popular in interior decor these days, items such as chairs, ottomans, pillows, even draperies, seem to be popping up made from all types of crusty country fabrics.  I have my share of European grain sacks made into pillows strewn about on sofas and beds............and even the chair here at the dining room table has been upholstered in a beautiful sack I brought back from France.

The gorgeous coffee sack table runner was a recent unexpected gift made by my generous friend Vanessa.  She knows I love this look, and especially anything with writing ~ it's perfect on the farm table.

It's also responsible - at least for these photos - for a much-needed clearing of the table which seems to have become my desk. 

So, good morning from my blogging spot. I'm looking out at greening grass and thick Moonflower vines twining rampantly around the porch in their last Summer hurrah...........following a night of thunder and pouring rain.  I feel Autumn in the air at last.
