One thing I love is toile! So charming and old-fashioned!
Toile in all kinds of colors! Scattered with lovely scenes from days gone by.
Toile comes in all kinds of kinds of colors, patterns, and forms.
I like the blue on yellow print quite a lot.
But my favorite toile is the basic red on white:
I've really enjoyed searching for items with toile to show you. Take a look!
And take a look at these lovely vintage finds!
Look closely at the lovely toil design at the bottom of the this beauty!
Look at this beautiful Georgian/Colonial dress! Amazing!
And I thought this would be SO pretty with a tank top under it. I love 3/4 sleeves!
Isn't this jacket amazing? I love the color and style!
So cute!
Boat shoes
Cool canvas Keds
I don't usually wear heels but these are so pretty!
Adorable Wellies! These boots look so cute and comfy!
Pretty red lined flats
Kind of interesting
Aren't those pointed toes interesting?
And my favorites:
Aren't these flats just darling?!! They are so sweet! The label says Talbots but I don't think they sell these anymore. Too bad because I'd love to own a pair!
Toile covered guitar pick necklace, this is a neat idea!
And I thought these were so neat - toil print porcelain earrings with butterfly cutout. Exquisite!
Like a breath of Spring, light and beautiful!
These are my favorite:
Probably my favorite, so pretty and Victorian looking with the fringe!
Look, even a pet bed!
This is my favorite! I love the teapot base with the mosaic design and the overall red color!
Rooms Decorated With Toile:
Colonial style wallpaper and settee!
I'd love to have my bedroom decorated like this!
So bold, but oh so pretty!
This lovely chair!
Star wall art
This amazing lounge!
This sweet hat box
So, that's my little bit (or long bit) about the loveliness of toile! What items do you like? Is there a certain color/pattern toile you prefer?
I found a lot of cute things for children in toile so I'll be doing a post very soon about some of them. Thanks for bearing with me as I rambled on about toile. It's just thrills me when I see these lovely things!
Hope you're having a lovely day!
Very Truly Your's,

I LOVE LOVE LOVE toile! I recently found a tote bag at a thrift store in black and cream toile for $3, and it's my favorite. I love the red and white too, and have always loved blue and white.....too hard to pick just one favorite! Thank you for putting such a lovely eye candy post. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, how fun! Now I want to go find some toile too! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the red on white, but I like the blue or black on white, too. And I love the toile inspired necklaces.
A silly confession? I love finding old-fashioned necklaces that look like they could be from a fairy tale or period drama. When I wear them with my normal, everyday clothes, it gives my day a lift. I feel like the main character in a story. When I'm out and about, I feel like I'm hiding a secret from everyone. "I may look like my mild-mannered self, but you have no idea that I'm really Elizabeth Bennett right now."
It makes it so much easier to deal with dishes, laundry and cranky kids when you're a heroine, too! :) Maybe I'll have to find a toile necklace to add to my collection.
P.S. Does anyone else do something like this, or am I the only weird one?
Fun blog post! I didn't know there was so much out there in toile. It was fun looking at the stuff. Thanks. :-) Mrs. M - aka. Mom
ReplyDeleteMy mom loves toile too. And she's kind of rubbed it off on me. ;) I love the toile dresses! I think I'll add one of them to my wish list...
