Beautiful!
Ummm--I think I'd like that corn recipe too. :) Sounds & looks like such fun, that party! I just dyed some really expensive bed sheets I bought years ago for a kid's room (what was I thinking?!). They were apricot color and I dyed them a dark, rich purple with a bunch of good ole fashioned Rit dye. I LOVE them! It's really fun to transform something so easily.
I think you guys just had too much fun... Love it :)
it was a very special day
and so nice to be with you, Margie, Sonia and my friend, Arounna.
like a kid, i'd love to do it again
Looks great. I saw some beautiful embroidered doilies the other day in an op shop for $2 each. I didn't buy them as they all had a few rust marks on them. When I got home I thought "I should have bought them and dyed them"!
What are you going to do with your pieces?
OH to live near you!
I love the hand dyeing process; it magical somehow. Seeing your beautiful fabrics on the line shows them off so nicely!
Shades of 1967! This makes me want to run right out and tie-dye something! Fun.
I love the 3rd photo, it conveys a sense of magic with that lens refraction that looks like a bubble and the way you can see the leaves through the fabric. Gorgeous.
how fun is that! I want to go to a dye party and make pretty things!!
Ahhh a "dye party" sounds so cool and even BETTER with natural dyes! :) kudos!!
Oh wow - I'd love to have gone to your dye party ! I love seeing how fabric is transformed by colours. What kind of natural dye did you use - I can only find the non natural kind here.
The dyeing results are beautiful! And then what happened to them?
it was such an amazing afternoon
I have such sweet memories of it it, I can't wait to blog about it too
I have told hubby about the guacamole & I can't wait to gather all the ingredients and make it ! And quesadillas too ! And guess what ? I have managed to find a Mexican restaurant here, and it seems genuine & fabulous. Will tell you more about it if/when we'll go there !
oxoxox
Margie's backyard i am sure was magical.
