Hi there, lovely friends! 

I hope your day is going along in the most fabulous manner.

Can you believe it's already the third week of November? 

Honestly, this month is going crazy fast for me...

The third week of every month is extra special for me.  Why?  Well, I do a guest blog post on the beautiful blog, Lillyella, about home decor.  Each and every month.  I absolutely love doing these posts!

This month's post is titled

Fresh Vintage ~ Mad-Men-esque

It was a complete delight doing this month's feature.  Now tell me. Who wouldn't like to spend a little extra time gazing at photos that remind a girl (or guy) of Don Draper...?

Enjoy your Thursday, dear ones!

When it comes to brilliant ideas...the kind that make you shout "Light bulb!"...umbu has come up with a brilliant design. 

Lamps made out of sewing patterns and maps?  Be still my heart!

Major pangs of desire.

By the way, your comments light up my life.

Have a beautiful day...xo

Remember our veteran's today.

I'm in love with this linen coral hanging.  Major pangs of desire...I don't know where I'd find room for it on my walls, but I'm certain I could manage to find the exact right spot.  Isn't it completely gorgeous, with all of those delicious shades of gray and blue?

Thank you, sfgirlbybay, for sharing the link to this truly exceptional beauty!

I hope you are all having a perfectly perfect week.  I'm happily working away on my new Fall/Winter collection.  Never a dull moment in my little corner of the world...

Thank you so very much for visiting...Until next time...xo

Coming Soon...

French Herb Wall Art

Derived from my original sketch

Hand-embroidered

Pure linen in mocha

French spelling of sage

The first of many in this Fringe garden series

One of my newest home decor pieces.  It's the first of a series I'm working on.  This piece will be available soon on my website (which is a work in progress).  Much more to come...including other forms of Fringe home decor.


In other news...

Yesterday our boy left for three days with his paternal grandparents.  I was hit with sadness and tears when he was waving goodbye to me as they drove away.  Thank goodness he didn't see it!  I know, I'm such a sap.  The image of him waving goodbye is frozen in my mind.  I can't help thinking that soon he will be waving goodbye to me as a young man, leaving for the last time.  These motherhood heartstrings...infinite and complex, twisting, crossing, changing colors....

I hope you have a beautiful Thursday, dear friends!  I have a long list (yay for lists!) of things to get done while he's away.  If I finish everything on the list, I may just treat myself to a little reward tomorrow...

Thank you so much for stopping by to see me...xo

Fresh Fringe...

Hello and Happy Wednesday, dear friends! I hope you are having a beautiful day.

This petite pillow is a brand new Fringe design. It’s the first in a series of new home décor items coming your way. It’s the tiniest of ponies (only 5" square)…perfect for any little cozy nook in your home. Nestle him in a bookshelf, on a favorite chair, on a table or bed as a little sculptural décor accent. You can use this pillow as a pin cushion, or a friendly companion from home on your next trip. This little huggable pillow is one-of-a-kind. A tiny heirloom addition to your home.

Petite Pony Pillow

Made of the highest quality, beautiful, buttery soft linen. I hand embroidered a horse head designed from one of my horse sketches. I had my childhood pony, Buttons, in mind when I drew this pony’s face.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Anything hand embroidered is one-of-a-kind, in my case. Each piece is sketched by hand and then lovingly embroidered by yours truly. That can never be exactly the same again.

I hope you like my new Fringe Home piece. I have lots of other designs in my new line. Time permitting; they will be here in the near future...

As always, I am so grateful that you stopped in to see me. Your visits and comments make me happy...xo

The Sartorialist

Just yesterday, my brother, author of the beautiful new blog Brock Street, introduced me to a blog named The Sartorialist. All I can say is...perfection! What an inspiring and beautiful place to visit! Those of you who have visited my shop know that I am extremely interested in fashion and colors and textures so, needless to say, I'm in heaven when I go to this blog. You will become instantly hooked on it, as I have. I hope you will visit both of these blogs. Both created by men of fashion and design. Stay tuned for more in depth coverage of Brock Street....
