"Okay! Everyone split up and take refuge in your respective corners of the earth!!! There will be no more mingling and for GOD sakes no more quilting!"


The only thing that's keeping me alive is the deep
Amy Butler respect I still have left over from a few years ago. Things change, I get that -- but something's gotten a little out of hand. Amy Butler is still great & they way she eased her style to appeal to a wide audience--fantastic. I'll even go as far as to say that she developed a lifestyle. I was sorely let down by the bedding I saw at Bed Bath (but quickly picked up by the towels). . . . and now this. The Love Collection. If I squint real hard I can see them separately have potential to still be fantastic. That enlarged backdrop? (top) Getting somewhere. Hope increasing. Who knows, maybe it was just the brochure layout & choice of image placement? After all that, I found solace in a few of these. . . where things were a bit quieter. Everything just might be okay.

Shhhhh....the sideboards are sleeping.

Product shots with such a quiet morning light. . . listen. Do you hear that? It's two solid wood sirens beckoning for you to fly to London and sweep them off their feet.

Our Labor of Love . . . *sigh*

Ohhh geez. Where do I begin? Our Labor of Love is such an amazing photography team with such sweetheart creativity it'd make a sailor blush. Their passion for what they do is infectious. Check out the Smilebooth section and you'll want to invent a party tomorrow just to have an excuse to hire them.

The weather is cooling down. This calls for hot tea, soups, pumpkin flavored anything (maybe even some real pumpkin) and a juicy skein of thick yarn. If I was on top of the game I'd start crocheting in August, but when have I ever been on top of the game.
