More to Come...

I just added 2 new pillows to my shop today:
I'm loving the combination of the teal, black, cream and orange together. I was inspired by this pic from Orla Kiely's home (those are my wool swatches):
I love what that woman does with color. Her graphics and garments are so sweet and simple, but it's the colors she chooses to put together that have such an effect on me. This is really how all of my pillows and their designs have come about so far. Somewhere, a color combination has caught my eye - just walking down the street and seeing the tip of a brightly painted house next to the sky, 2 people in line for coffee....they're coats next to each other, old warehouses next to each other with graffiti. The color will literally make my stomach flip flop and I'll keep the colors in my head until I get home and then see if I have that color wool. Most likely I do because it seems that I always fall for the same colors! Mustards, greys, turquoise, different shades of oranges and fucshias/pinks, teals and greens....

Here's a little sneak of some new items that I will be adding to my shop next week...
Well, ok the bud vase isn't new (there are 2 in the shop) but I really love these guys and think they would be a great Valentine's Day gift with a couple of pink tulips! When they're not being used as a vase, they're great for holding knitting needles and such. Add some rice or river rocks to the bottom to bump up pencils, pens or your makeup brushes in the bathroom (this will also help to dull that clinking sound everytime you put something in there)

I simply adore these new pillows, the colors are so right, and I love the felted bowls as well. Always waiting to see what is next in your store.
