…and the skies are gray

Still. But, California Dreamin is off the sticks. Done and done. Ready to take the chill off those cool desert evenings. This newest blanket is near exactly as I had anticipated while gathering the yarns…a definite woven look like some of the earliest Knoll and Herman Miller textiles. And, the hand is wonderful…softer than I expected considering the mix of recycled fibers, cashmere, cotton, linen, merino and hemp( even a touch of nylon )… the colorations are complex at close range while receding to neutral from a distance. I like it.
Just the ticket

Nothing says Simple…Quiet…or Modern quite like this. The best (and my personal favorite) fabric…Linen…for it’s color, texture and durablity combined with the simplest of design. Who couldn’t use a stack of these in their linen drawer? Even the identifying mark stamped on each item keeps it simple, insuring against someone wiping the corner of their mouth with the tablecloth. Hey, I’m just saying…http://shophorne.com/shop-designer-fog-linen-c-55_77.html?view_all=1&sort=2a

March. We are nearly out of the woods of winter anticipating the new beginings that spring brings. Yet, oddly enough, among the gray skies and melting snow you can find the perfect inspiration for a new project. Mother Nature again providing a creative nudge through a small piece of birch bark blowing across the yard…which leads to the selection of a terrazzo vessel…which then leads to a new backsplash? Bath renovation? OK, let’s not get nuts…maybe a few new towels is the simplest solution. http://www.target.com/s/bathroom+home+spa+towels
