Inspired by this vintage white-on-pink embroidery and my recent antique tiara obsession, I have taken on a new embroidery project. I bought two dark coral Ralph Lauren pillowcases from Ross (the best place to buy these kinds of things) and designed a Greek inspired pattern based on a Chaumet tiara design. The design blends a five inch long Greek key pattern with a simple floral bough running across. I've only completed about a quarter of one pillowcase, but I already love the results.
To find inspiration for your own project, look online at antique linens or tiara designs. Andrew Prince has some fabulous crystal tiara designs. I would love to own that seven star tiara! Maybe I could justify it for the 2007 Black and White Ball?
