Shopping: Gingham Napkins are Hot!

I  know it's almost summer because I keep getting these wonderful magazines featuring my Peppermint Pinwheels gingham napkins!  My red gingham napkins are in the cutest table setting in this month's Southern Lady Magazine (May/June 2012). 

Red Gingham Napkins by me!

And, being a transplanted southern lady myself, I'm lovin' it!

Shopping: I'm blushing like a...

...girl who's napkins have been spotted in a bridal magazine!  Yep, those are Peppermint Pinwheels napkins sitting at the table of honor with the Kate Spade dinnerware!

Thanks to Rachel Hollis of Chic Events, my gingham napkins were featured in a story for California Wedding Day magazine.  Her idea for the design is Modern English Garden, and I think it looks gorgeous!

I went shopping.

So, I bought a couple of things.  It was kind of an accident...you know how it is when you start looking around on Etsy.  And, I ended up just HAVING to have the antique green trim from Maison Maudie shipped to me. (From France!  Don't you just love the Labrador Retriever stamps that were on the package?)

And then, the day before it came in the mail, I found this "Fleur d'Paris" by Henry Glass fabric on sale.  How could I say no?  Now they live on the shelf above my work table.  What to make!?!

Thank you, Heart Handmade!

Thanks to Mandie for featuring me today on her blog, Heart Handmade.

I've noticed lately that "sweet and simple" keeps slipping into my quilt titles.

Something colorful

My yellow flower baby play-mat was recently featured in this colorful treasury on Etsy.  It's just the thing for the gray day I'm having!
