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.

Design Style Guide Giveaway

Giveaway #1 featuring Karen Faulkner Art

The Design Style Guide is beginning a new and exciting project! We are going to be having giveaways approximately every 2 weeks!

Our first giveaway features Karen Faulkner Art.

Karen says, “Painting is restorative for me and I hope that a peaceful yet uplifting quality comes through in my work. I strive to make each piece unique, saying as much as I can in just a few brushstrokes. My paintings are often reflective of a mood or emotion.”

Karen’s beautiful minimalist paintings are always created with professional artist quality pigments and acid-free, 100% cotton watercolor paper.

As a member of Design Style Guide (the Etsy Team for those decorating their homes and offices with a website especially for interior designers ) she is offering one US reader, $20.00 credit and free shipping to be spent in her shop on Etsy. The winner will be able to pick any item from Karen's store that is within the given credit limit.(credit is NOT transferrable for cash or to any other shop)

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.
