dusting off here

oh my this ole blog here has been sorely neglected. i suppose it's because we have become so comfortable with facebook these days. but it's a new year which makes it seem like a good time to say hello. let's start with this...

 

sarah and i met with marc jacobs from michael miller today.

 

we ordered some fun new prints for springtime. well truthfully, we try to always keep it like a breath of springtime in our shop. the new bolts will arrive sometime mid march.

precious posy...

it is really begininng to look like spring in the shop...

 

posy by aneela hoey is just precious. perfect for the new baby in your life, an easter dress for your little girl, or just an array of pastels in a quilt to brighten up the winter doldrums. 

happy tones...

...in our favorite kinds of color

reminds me of the partridge family...

hello world, here's a song that we're singin'
come on, get happy
a whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin'
we'll make you happy...

...happy tones by michael miller...a perfect addition to our tutti frutti room.

cruzin'

the sun is shinning, the snow is melting, and the temperature is warming up.  sounds like a perfect day for a little cruzin'...

we've decided to arrange them on the round tables because they do so remind us of a color wheel in which i find great happiness.  

costume clubhouse...

so...just what was in that box you ask?

 

a bit of riley blake's costume clubhouse. we have fat quarter bundles, ten inch stackers, rolie polies and a bolt of the main fabric.  by not going to market this past spring, i sorta blew it on this one. much is already sold out. like the banners:( at least the purple was still in stock. not for long though for us. three yards already sold this afternoon.
