Friday Find: The Piccoli Collection by Olli Ella

April 6, 2012 · Comments { 2 }

I’m always on the lookout for fresh, beautiful and oh-so-stylish pieces for nursery rooms. Olli Ella’s new Piccoli Collection delivers that and more! The 100 organic cotton crib bedding features gentle hues of musk and citrus yellow. The gender neutral palette and design is a perfect choice for either boys or girls. I also love that it is handmade in England.

Friday Find: John Robshaw for Duralee

March 30, 2012 · Comments { 2 }

One of my favorite textile designers, John Robshaw has team up with Duralee to create a fabulous four-book collection of coordinated fabrics. All with Robshaw’s signature worldly look, the collection is divided into rich colors inspired by nature and saturated tones of the East.

Robshaw’s products are a direct reflection of his life experiences and says, “by making textiles, I get to become a minor character in the lives of the people I work with, and I can take inspiration from what I see and do there. I go to their weddings, celebrate their festivals, I get sick with them, drink tea with them, and develop relationships with the people who are teaching me. When you look at my textiles, I want you to feel link you’ve been on the world tour along with me.”

What is not to love?

Colors of Spring

March 5, 2012 · Comments { 6 }

Our backyard hens lay the most beautiful eggs. In natural shades of blue-green and creamy-white, the eggs give me a little spring fever as I look forward to Easter and the gentle colors of spring.
