For the love of Chenille
Some of my collection.

Chenille has been around for years and I would never pass up a beautiful bedspread on my thrifting travels I would make them into lovely cushion covers, raggy quilts and even slipcovers. They are very versatile and the best part is they wash and wear better over time. I would have to say that I have picked the best ones up in Victoria. I think the climate is more suited to them in colder states and I always seem to find one wherever I went. Can't say that now and many chenille bedspreads I have seen are well over the $200. I have kept mine for years and always seem to find a purpose for them. They are even great as throws over the couch.

Oh I love chenille too Sandy, brings back such happy memories from my childhood! I found a double chenille plain bedspread in my treasure hunting whilst I was away for $5 but left it as it was a cream/yellow/apricot colour - just couldn't think of what it would go with... Love your images, especially the chenille slipcover:)- Tina x
Hi Sandy....Love chenille too! Check out my new find that I found at a local antique store. I only paid $25 for it and it is in perfect condition.~
I love chenill also, I'm always looking on ebay for the perfect find. I just wanted to thank-you for being such a good blogger. I don't blog like I use to but it's always nice when I see that you have a new post. It puts a smile on my face for the day.
Blessings,
Ginger

Hi Sandy, I so agree. Chenille never fails to inspire.Love the pic of the wing back chair. Thanks for dropping by, your new home is looking wonderful and I would love to keep a look out for any items you may need, cheers Katherine
I love chenille too and until just recently had a bright pink bedspread on my bed!
Love what you did with the chair! Beautiful!
Hi Sandy,
It's funny how my taste has changed over the years, when I was younger you couldn't have paid me to have anything in chenile but now I am on the hunt to find anything that is in good enough condition to take home!!!
