Spreading around some Cath Kidson love.  : ) And how this copycat rolls…

I'd like one of everything, please. <g>

However, since I haven't won the lottery, here is what I do.  I take a visual survey and then begin to analyze the individual parts to determine what is speaking to me – textures, colors, techniques etc.  Often you can break down a look into easily repeatable steps that way. 

I loved the fold over elastic (FOE) skirt idea.  Love.  I am a lazy seamstress so that knocked off the whole casing step.  Win.  Tutes here and here. Side note – turquoise/sea glass and dull red together never fails to stir my heart.

I love the look of a vintage iron bed. In lieu of an original, IKEA has this for $149 which looks very authentic up close and needs no work. Target's Simply Shabby Chic line has similar bedding. Cheaper yet?  Search etsy and ebay for vintage floral sheets.  Sew two together and stuff with an old comforter.  Duvet : )  Search for vintage towel to fold in half and add a top casing for the awesome laundry bag. 

Frame old fabric remnants in Goodwill frames. Scrapbooking paper works well too. 

And this is why window shopping (and pinterest) does not depress me.
