The French General is in the house.....

It really is lovely.......chocked full of amazing photography. It would make a wonderful coffee table book. It is full of inspiring sewing pr0jects like this.....






Aren't they great?
However, if you aren't the sewing type or haven't the time, you could drop into our shop and find some things that would make your life a little more "French Generalish" or "wild raspberryish" if you will.......
things like....





It's about the little details. Sure, you could put your shoes in a Walmart sack when you travel. But wouldn't it feel more special to use a lovely travel bag?
Yes, you could throw your clothespins in a ziploc baggie...but it is more fun to have a pretty bag to store them in.
You could always hold a napkin around your coffee cup to keep from scalding your fingers...but doesn't a coffee cozy with a vintage button and lovely fabric fit you better?I'm just saying.....
Make every day lovely. It is a good way to live.

It's so thrilling to find inspiring books--but I'm betting there are lots of folks who feel YOUR products and displays are equally inspiring. ME for one!! You do add such special touches to your creations. I adored the Easter hat photos!!
I hope SOMEONE took a picture of you guys decked out in your finery and "whimsical umbrellas" as you attended the sale in KC recently!! Your description was fabulous!!
Happy weekend. Dana
