Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Rachel Ashwell had a show called "Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic" on Style Network a few years back. This DVD contains three episodes from that series: (1) Christmas (2) Presents and (3) The Exquisite Table.
In April of 2008 Rachel released the first three DVDs. This one followed 7 months later in November making it #4 in the series.
1)CHRISTMAS: in this episode Rachel demonstrates how she makes Christmas cards out of old photographs, post cards, playing cards, paper napkins, ribbon, twigs, glitter and other common items. Personalizing a card makes it more meaningful. She shops the flea market throughout the year looking for vintage ornaments and wreaths to decorate her home and then she demonstates how to put together "stockings" out of unconventional items such as an old fishing basket and silk embroidered bag. Rachel sets a creative holiday table using an old drapery panel as the tablecloth and vintage clip-on earrings for napkin rings.
2) PRESENTS: Rachel casts aside the traditional gift box by grouping themed items together in unusual packaging (collander, dish rack, etc). To motivate and inspire the recipient the gift should keep the person's taste and interests in mind (such as a partially finished embroidery for the sewer). She shops for presents in unexpected places such as antique malls and ethnic grocery stores.
3) THE EQUISITE TABLE: Rachel creates a beautiful SC table for the Dining by Design charity event. At the flea market she finds a reproduction pink crystal chandelier, brooches (to be fashioned into napkin rings) and vintage fabrics. Next shes goes to an antique market for cutlery, stemware, china tea cups,and silver salt & pepper shakers. All these beautiful elements are then put together to make an exquisite shabby chic table.
