If you a fan on Facebook then this is old news to you now (by less than 24 hours!)… but just in case you’re not then let me introduce you to some of my new dishtowels in the shop! You’ve probably picked up on my recent fascination of repeating patterns, especially those with a Moorish [...]

In one of my very first blog posts I told you all about my history with peonies. Click the link because there’s a bunch of pretty photos, but as a quick summary: I grew up in upstate NY where peonies bloom on June 15th every year. EVERY YEAR. I know this because it’s my birthday [...]

I showed you the other day my current dreams for my “outdoor living area” and obviously one of the stars of that design were the absolutely amazing chairs from asv. Then I found these lovelies from anthropologie {via the Style-Files}. These guys are from none other than everyone’s favorite Target (pronounced of course as Tar-jay). [...]

Happy Monday! I’m finally back home, recuperated from jet lag and excited to share some more Spain goodies with you! One thing that was so disappointing on our trip was the food. My mom had warned us that the food in her area of Spain wasn’t that good and to be honest we flat out [...]

I’m going to miss the sun, the beach, the traveling, the doing-nothing-ness, and especially the family, but I’m excited to get back home and get to work on all the ideas that have been brewing these past few weeks! Traveling is always such a huge source of [...]

Bienvenido from Spain! I’ve been here for the past 2 weeks spending time with my family and traveling (which explains why my posts were so few and far between) but I finally have some time to put together some real Spain-y goodness posts to share with you! First off, let me tell you that leaving [...]

I’ve been sharing some of my past and current quilting adventures with you lately (here and here). When I was 20 years old I was ready to take on a more challenging quilt element: TRIANGLES. Every quilt I had done before had some room for me to “cheat” the squares if necessary. Triangles don’t give [...]
