Friday's Favorite with Whistlestop Cafe

It's FRIDAY! Yay!!

I am joining Sandi at Whistlestop Cafe Cooking for a linky party called Friday's Favorite, an "anything goes" type of gathering where you simply share your favorites!

My new fave is something I have been coveting from afar for so long! Back in November, I visited Urban Farmhouse and laid my eyes on the most amazing ruffled chair covers. They were full slips with layer upon layer of ruffly goodness. Oh my, they were beautiful! But, I couldn't bring myself to spending the money so close to Christmas! Then, not too long ago, Lisa posted a photo of some new ruffled covers that just cover the seat of the chair. I had never gotten the others off my mind, but I thought I liked these even better! I loaded up one of my crazy heavy dining chairs and trekked it out to Thornville to visit Lisa at Urban Farmhouse. I wanted to make sure the chair covers would cover the seat properly....I was a little worried because the seats measure 19" across, but alas, these crumply ruffled linen beauties are mine....







Here I am smiling from ear to ear as I head home with my new purchase!


Got a favorite? Show it off! Join the fun with Sandi at Whistlestop Cafe Cooking! Can't wait to see your fave!


Make it a great day!

Polly, That dining area is absolutely stunning! I love the attention to detail, especially the box fern wreaths on the back of the chairs. Magazine finish girl. The seat covers look gorgeous. Very Very inspirational. Seeing your darling smile in the last photo was the perfect finish.

Have a terrific weekend

Love,
Kate

What a gorgeous dining room!
Like I've said before, my cat has made it her mission to destroy any and all slipcovers brought into the house, so I can't have pretty, girly, frilly stuff like that. :-(

All the pics were gorgeous, but most especially that LAST one!

XO,
Anne

What a lovely site! Your decor pictures are wonderful! I am a fellow Polly and saw your post on one of the adoption blogs I follow. I'm glad I checked out your blog, I am a city turned country girl living on a farm! Take care!

Your chairs look so cute with those covers. I like how it is just the seat and you have the wreaths on the back. Love it. Thanks for stopping by for a visit with me and leaving such a nice comment. It's a good thing not to go to Home Goods all the time...saves money! LOL>
