Prelude to Spring

Not to jump the gun, but in anticipation of spring and the flowers to come, found these lovely new lawn cottons, perfect for a Spring Floral Handkerchief set. Very Liberty of London, but from a different supplier.

Ah, makes me want to sneeze with joy

Pink Monkeys

Just when winter and snow are starting to get to me, one of my favorite fabrics is back. There's nothing like whimsical pink monkeys to put a smile on.

Puppy Love

I always wanted a puppy when I was a kid. What kid didn't? But I never had one, so now I sublimate that former desire with fabric. Ok, it's not the same thing, but who wouldn't love these red pups?

New kids napkins are in the works....

Organic Florals

Found a great new line of organic cottons...these are a couple of them. And what could be bad about pansies? Just put them up for sale, and they look like winners. Love the mod floral themes -- hoping for more soon.

Hip Hop!

I love whimsy -- so I was delighted when I found this exclusive Liberty of London print from Japan -- am giong to have to call it 'Rabs'. Which brings to mind a friend -- and yes, as story.

But I'll save that for another time.....

Calling all Hankie Lovers.....

Need a unique gift idea> Or a treat for yourself? We've just launched 'Hankie of the Month' -- with a choice of batik, Liberty of London lawn cotton, or a mix. We do the picking and you get a surprise hankie in the mail each month.

Now that's what I call sneezing in style.

Spring Fever!

Yes, I'd gone missing....or something like that. But here I am again....and this is my new 'Jungle Fever' Napkin set, my favorite of the new spring fabrics. Makes me want to go native. Or at least tropical.

Oh, I need a vacation! Or maybe one of those drinks with an umbrella in it.....

Reflections

Could be the anticipation of the season changing, or just a mood of seeing things from the inside out. Like the upside down world I imagined as a kid, you know, where we walked on the ceiling.

Maybe the colors just cheer me up.

Wishing for Spring

Have you noticed how the light is changing? Just makes me feel that spring is just around the corner. Yes, I'm an incurable optimist. But before we know it, trees will be budding, flowers will be blooming.....ah!

And that means new handkerchiefs.

Hearts for Haiti....

This Etsy collective is comprised of donated items from hundreds of Etsy shops. It is dedicated to raise money to rebuild Haiti. 100% of the proceeds from this shop (minus Etsy fees and Paypal fees) go directly to DoctorsWithoutBorders (http://doctorswithoutborders.org/) in bi-monthly increments.

So go show some love!

Table for One... Sort of

For as long as I can remember, I always had a thing for bears. And a vast collection of them. Ok, vast to a child, and then vast to a grown up kid-at-heart. So while browsing the oriental fabric collections a few months ago, imagine my delight when I found this panda fabric.

So now I can set my table for one and always have company, and amusing conversation. If not a little 'panda-monium'! Don't look at me that way.....

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'.

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....
