Napkins Upcycled into Bedroom Decor & Giveaway Winner

A glimpse of my bedroom. The throw cushion covers on my bed are made (by Mum) from vintage 50's Wilendur "Princess Rose" cotton napkins. They feature my favourite rose print ever, the most resplendent I've seen, and are still ablaze with colour after all these years. Synonymous with quality table and kitchen linens and boldly coloured prints, Wilendur/Wilendure was produced from 1938-1984 in the USA. In 1958 Wilendur changed to Wilendure.

Can you see the book? It's a vintage book from 1947, one of my favourite classic novels, and with its charmingly quaint cover a favourite of mine to display also. I'll reveal the book in my next post...


The lucky winner of the giveaway sponsored by Allies Adornments is Peggy AplSEEDS! Congratulations Peggy AplSEEDS! Thank you to Allies Adornments for sponsoring the giveaway and thank you to all entrants!

For the next giveaway I'm hosting here the prize is a romantic upcycled display piece that's also useful. I'm not telling what it is...

  1. Love that rose print - So pretty in a comforting sort of way! I actually have a tablecloth in a similar fabric that the seller swore was vintage 50s...
