Use what you have!

Find the dress for the Christmas holyday celebrations in the linen closet. 


























Here is my mom´s old hand-crocheted tablecloth. I buttoned it up with 4 white SMÅKNEPP pieces as braces and used about 20 white KNEPP buttons.
And the tablecloth? Unbutton the dress - that´s all!
GOD JUL!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
