Curtain Holdbacks

Hello World!  It has seriously taken me forever to pick curtain holdbacks for the dining room curtains.  This is how they have been for like, oh, four months.  

Don't you just love the little green thumbtack?  I could not find anything I really liked.  And, I'm not a patient shopper.  But, I endured.  After perusing what seemed like thousands of websites, I found these little white beauties.  




I can also give the tassels a rest and put the fabric behind the holdback when I want to let more light into the room.  I'm so glad to put the ugly little thumbtacks away.  

I still need more artwork and we would love to get new dining room furniture since this set belongs to my Mother.  Yes, she has two sets.  Oh, and I'm thinking of putting little shades on the chandelier.  

That's it for today.  Thank you for the visit.  Wishing all a grand day and remember to be kind to one another. 


Toodles,
Kathryn

  6. Hello Kathryn! These tiebacks are perfect! I love their delicate scroll and porcelain appearance! Well done! I am making curtains and will probably make ties since they'll be suspended w/o walls. Loving the details! I appreciate you sharing with A Return to Loveliness,

  14. Your tie-back holders are pretty! We have our hair brush hanging on a push pin for over 10 years now. Push pins work for somethings... but they do get old!
    I love the toile fabric for your curtains too! --Pat
