About MEE . . .
In June 2008, I was abruptly terminated from my position as a Broker Liaison, a direct result of the slumping housing market in Southern California. Shortly thereafter, my dear friend Jennifer, encouraged me to launch my own business - which was always my dream, so it was either sink or swim. I began my Etsy shop last year with my staple French inspired burlap table runners with much success. As time went on, Bella evolved into offering not only the runners and various handmade pieces, but also beautiful vintage antique items as well. I am truly living my dream! Jennifer has inspired me into wearing a plethora of different hats. Seen below are JUST a few of my creations. Thank you, Jennifer!
Vintage inspired linen pillows . .
Burlap pillow collection . .
French document burlap pillow on the left, Fleur-de-lis lumbar on the right. .
Linen and fluffy down pillows, timeless and elegant . .
Burlap ottoman w/ French inspired grain sack script . .
Charcoal grey medic cross pillow and vintage army bolster.
Vintage French linen ottoman with lovely ruffle. .
Slipcovered arm chair with French script and Chateau BRADBURY pillow on right. .
Burlap and grain sack holiday decor with hanging tassel. .
Burlap & organic cotton stockings with petite ruffle. .
I heart drapery rings to hang my holiday stockings.
It adds just the perfect stroke of sophistication.
