Crate Liner and Wings Update

Back in August, my inbox contained the most gorgeous photo of prettily-lined blueberry crates available from Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture.  I loved the idea of lining these rustic old crates with pretty fabrics.  Recalling an old box I salvaged from a spring thrifting trip, I decided to make my own pretty liner for it using an old Ralph Lauren pillowcase. 
Here's the result:


And here's the original photo from RASC in my email:

I just adore the look of this garden, with our Blessed Mother statue, the paved stones, gravel and of course ROSES!  I love how the crates are stacked.  Wish I had more wooden crates to play with, because this one was fun to embellish...

The other thing I've been up to is making more wire angel wings.  I listed some in Etsy recently and all 3 sold right away.  This week I finished 3 more which will be listed soon.  I have two large sized wings ($45 each) and one small sized wings ($15) available. 
I know some of you fellow bloggers have been interested in the wings, so I thought I'd let you know.  I can reserve a pair on Etsy for you - first come, first serve - just let me know.

UPDATE - 10/14/12 - These latest 3 wings have sold, but I'll add more to Etsy this week.   

Thanks so much for your interest!

I love your look a like Rachel crate. I would love to buy almost everything she has--just don't have the budget for it. Yours looks fantastic!

Pretty and rustic what a perfect combination. I love the fabric, in fact I have two of those pillow cases myself. I love that you decided to make your own.
