A couple months ago I used one of my latent fabric superpowers, and helped to save this beautiful collection from an untimely demise. I had ordered the whole luscious collection – hyperventilating with excitement – many months ago. Then we got the announcement that it had been cancelled due to lack of interest. What?!? So I begged and pleaded and cajoled, increased our order, and they decided to do one printing. I hope you love it as much as I do. It just makes me smile.
I mean, vintage teacups, lilacs, and delightful little canaries at a garden party. What’s not to love? Sigh….and evidently you won’t find this elsewhere because others turned it down. For those of you who are mutual fans of Victoria magazine, going to High Tea with girlfriends, twittering songbirds, and the smell of lilacs….this one’s for you. And me.
The 2 charming young ladies and the photo of fancy floral teacakes, are from a 19th century country manor house I visited in Finland, on my opera tour. Our long bus trip back to Helsinki, after spending a week by the lake and in the forest, was softened by our tea party at this delightful country estate. It was clearly a labor of love by the owners and staff. You can see photos of this estate, and other delights from Finland, on my photo pages. (I have now uploaded 225 photos which I hope will bring you some joy and creative inspiration.)
This week we are writing checks to our list of non-profits, that will take us over $2 million total donated to charity. This has only happened because of YOUR support of our family-owned business. We are so grateful that you share our desire to give back to those in need. Together we have made a huge difference in thousands of lives over the last 24 years. We thank you for being a part of this journey. We thank you for helping us to achieve this amazing milestone!
Sharing your love of fabric…
