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.

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.

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.

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.

Fanciful Inspiration

So I'd been trying to figure out how to combine some great oriental brocades with fabulous Thai silk for next collection of pillows...and voila, along comes a special order. Added some beaded braif for embellishment. The finished product was a little more intricate than this pic, but I think Im on the way.....

Pillow Perfect

The front row are pillows I created as a custom wedding gift....just makes me want to curl up in comfort!

Spring is Here

Finally...spring is here to stay, but with all the pollen flying through the air, I needed some new hankies. So here's the Spring Batik Handkerchiefs Set -- just in time! Makes me feel good about sniffling.

Fun Snack Napkins

Okay, so it's been busy...this is a good thing of course, but can you believe I've been dreaming I posted stuff, and then the lightbulb went off and I realized I only was dreaming.....

One of the fun things about the holidays is kids. So I came up with a new assortment of kids snack napkins. Ever since I started doing Tea Party sets, the only complaint I got was that there was nothing for the boys...so here it is.

What a great way to teach table manners, and be green at the same time. Save paper -- use cloth napkins. Who wouldn't want to dab away the jelly...look at those monkeys!
