Gracie Loves Grandma...Grandma Loves Hankies!

A nice story. Gracie was reading WickedlyChic and saw our ad on the Holiday Gift Guide. She sent Grandma a hankie for Christmas. And now Grandma has ordered more.

Okay, so this is where I smile. Thank you WickedlyChic, Gracie, and Grandma. Yay!

So if you still need a little something...or a stocking stuffer? We've got em...

Visions of Sugarplums

What little princess wouldn't love these tea party/snack napkins? I wish I had a lunchbox I could tuck them into myself. Newest addition to the 'Kid Stuff'.

My Baby Does the Hanky Panky!

If I've heard it once, I've heard it at least a dozen times with the flu going around. Sneeze or cough into a tissue or a HANDKERCHIEF!

Teal We Meet Again -- Batik Handkerchief set....

Happy Halloween....

Next year I'm going to do pumpkins...I say that all the time. But in the meantime,these Day of the Dead Napkins are freaky and colorful, don't you think? You know what's going to be on my table.

Super Sale -- Save up to 50%

And now for another totally self-serving message - we're having a super sale now thru September 22. Because summer's almost gone, school has started & I'm in house cleaning mode.

So why not get a jump on your Holiday shopping, or just treat yourself to something?

Go ahead - you deserve it!

Give a Hoot!

September....summer vacations come to an end, the kids are back in school. What a good time to get into new routines, like tucking a cloth napkin into those lunchboxes. And with special prints just for them, the kids will love it. Go green.

Olive Love

If I could live on olives, there's a good chance I'd try. But there's a better chance of living on love, so my brain has combined the two ideas in this new hankie set. Ok, maybe that's twisted, but these fabric colors are rich, and I love the gold speckles. Reminds me of when someone who was trying to get me to go out with him had an assortment of olives via room service. Laughed my head off, but no, it didn't work....

Calling All Independent Shoppers......

Here I am on my soapbox shooting my mouth off again! And now for something completely different, click on the title link above and read why I think everyone should shop from small independent businesses.

And it's not just because I want a spa vacation.....

Monkeying Around....

After months of amassing fabrics for my new apron collection, the first creation turned out to be child sized. How cute is this? Full line should debut in October, if all goes as planned. Stay tuned....

Thank You Susie Shina!

For once, I'm speechless....

We All Need a Little Whimsy......

When life gets dull, these colors will certainly brighten things up! Okay, I was looking for something wild and maybe a little crazy the other day. So here it is. And to me, it says, whoa, where are my sunglasses.

Heading to the Beach....Soon!

Ah, I love the beach, and sitting by the water. Digging my toes into sand. Breathing salt air. Listening to the sound of the surf. Soon. Till then, I thought this new set of handkerchiefs were a good reminder of days to come.

Pocket Squares

Finally added the first (of many to come) new Pocket Squares -- perfect for adding a splash of color to your pocket - or for those who like a smaller handkerchief. 'Kleenex' size, not that I'm trying to promote paper tissues. Ha!

Color of the Day

My windowsill is my garden, and I've been buying some new flowering plants for the spring. I just find this coral pink daisy so uplifting! Funny how it matches one of the new velvets I got a few months ago.

Design Style Guide: What You Put On Your Table Matters

Wow! My napkins are featured on this post -- and they're in great company!

Bath & Body Goodies

Wow! Sharonn gave me one of these samplers and everything is totally yummy. Some of the best bath & body products I've ever used. They all feel wonderful and smell delicious too.

And it's a great gift idea for Mother's Day. Or for yourself.

I want more....You can find them at Crater Lake Company or at FlyingNeedleGallery.

Art Attack!

Time to get out there again -- come visit & shop!

Blue Roses.....

Another new favorite of mine, inspired by tattoos. Perfect for a whimsical -- if not slightly diabolical -- napkin set. And they also come in pink.

Finally...A New Scarf!

Finally got a photo of this Coral 'Avanti" scarf...it's still not quite spring, and this color velvet brightens my outlook. Those beads knock me out. And I thought it would be a great color for this page....

This is the last week of the Valentine's Gift Guide -- it's never too late to find something special!

In the Pink...and Green

Working on some new napkin and handkerchiefs sets....so many options with these. Plus a few more new swatches to come. They're cheering me up on this gray day.

And now that I've said it's gray, here comes the sun. Go figure!

25 Days Till Spring

Spring is just around the corner -- okay, I'm an optimist! So I just added this new hankie set called Swinging on a Star. I'll be hanging out waiting for spring, dreaming of the stars.

Hearts and Arrows

New for Valentine's Day! Wouldn't it be the perfect touch for your romantic dinner table setting? Just add some candles....and well, you know.

Put on a Happy Face!

This just makes me smile...and yes, visions of "Bye Bye Birdie" dance in my head. But what the heck, it's a new year.Let's make it a happy one!
