A Shop Update

The Shop is Open!

Phew. I'm not very used to this sort of rushing about (kids are an entirely different kind of rushing about), so all of this makes me a little nervous. When you're done looking - if you're looking - come on back to settle in for a relaxed little chat, will you? I'd love that.

In the shop today:

Cards & Wrap - a set of four photo greeting cards with a 'needle work' theme, all together in a linen wrap, embroidered with bits of spring and lined with vintage cotton. While I'm not generally a fan of making lots of the same thing, these seem to be an exception - what with all the combinations of embroidery, bias binding (had to make my own - it's so addictive), and crispy vintage cotton prints. I made a big batch of these, so I hope that some of you that missed out on the holiday version will be able to find one today.

Linen Totes - because no shop update of mine is complete without at least a few of my favorite size bags.

Take-Along Spring Quilt - Oh, I do love making these. Linen, with embroidery, vintage doilies and patchwork on the back. (Though I do wish quilts were easier to photograph. Hmn.)

Ah....a little Early Spring shop update. I always have fun putting these updates together, but this time I especially loved dreaming about the spring season in which they'll likely be used. Spring - full of color, light, and picnics, beach trips and leisurely walks in the sun. That's what was on my mind as I put this collection of things together. The children have been preparing for tomorrow's first day of spring all week...and I guess, in my own way, this little shop update is one way that I do the same.

Thank you, friends, for looking ... and for your interest in and support of what I do!

So beautiful...lovely work. I really love your idea of the card holders. Just love your design with the vintage linens, the french knots surrounding it, such nice inspiration for re-using vintage linens. Nice images as well.
