New Collection! Paris French Market Postage and Crowns Muslin & Burlap

OOH LALA!!
How stinking cute is my newest collection!

I have hand stained, dyed & wrinkled to perfection muslin and hand painted my design in a way to look old and vintage in chocolate brown with a dark potato sack burlap backing filled delicately with polyfil and sewn shut finishing off the seams to make the pillows pop!

I have 3 designs in this collection so far !
Two square & 1 oblong.

Meet the collection!

Aren't they just so divine!
My poor cuticles are now dyed from creating these...but soooo worth it! I am in love!!

Lot's more still to come. Keep checking my etsy shop as I always post my newest stuff there first.

A Very Shabby Parisian Makeover

Of course it is still winter here in NJ & cold indeed but I continue to have spring on my mind so have opted to take down my "cold winter decor" and give my room a fresh spring look.
It seems that every store I wander into nowadays is filled with Shabby Parisian French Decor!
So ironic that when I started Royal Bebe Shoppe it was almost non-existent!

I love mixing different items from my own collection, friends collections & even the local craft stores.

Here is my tv armoire in my living room. Adorning french, shabby parisian flair!


How stinking cute is the wire birdcage!! I filled her with some shabby pink flowers & she came to life!


My adorable flitter paris wand from my sweet friend Jamie at http://www.shoponalark.etsy.com/ now has a new home!! She's adorning a glass milk bottle!


Now onto the fireplace mantle.....how about some chic apothecary jars, seashells, pearls, decorative boxes, tins, moss, chic little birdie & My absolute favorite dress form ever!!! She is covered in french script linen fabric!! She is going to be a new prop in the shop...and perhaps be an item for sale too ;)



So my question to all my fabulous followers is "How are you beating the winter blues?"
Get inspired, be inspired by every little thing you see, touch & hear!!

Happy decorating,
xoxoxo,
Renee'
