Did you miss me?  It’s been a busy year for me so far, yet nothing I could talk about or really nothing big inspiring me until now.  Prepare yourself for a barrage of catch up posts.   Design Sponge just did a really cool story on my friends Nancy Aebersold and Dana Blumrosen’s home.  I...Read More

  I wasn’t allowed to talk about it, but now it’s out there, and I’m getting very exciting phone calls and emails!  Design Sponge did a sneak peek of my little cottage.  I understand there might be some of you that don’t know what Design Sponge is, so I will tell you that this is a...Read More

I am so excited to exhibit the new Clear Forest Series by Michelle Stitz here at  Saffron and Genevieve.  I first learned about her from a client, who showed me a piece she had of Michelle’s right off the bat and said “this we love, this is the feeling we want in our home”.  Peruse...Read More

A six year old friend of mine was visiting the shop the other day and he asked me why, if I love collecting this stuff so much, do I sell it? I explained that I really love to buy these things and I have a lot of fun doing it, but I also really love...Read More

I’ve got some new vintage sterling English watch fobs in, and I believe I have matched them up with the best chain for each one. I make some of the chains, and some are already made, or vintage. On the far left is one I have been wearing for years, 1897, Birmingham, England Junior League,...Read More

I love these reproductions of a garden diary from 1906. The awesome dolls I wrote about in my last post. Above guy is mine, below are all that is left of them. Maybe my favorite new thing from Texas. Chubby copper doll hand molds. I’ll probably remove the steel case so they can twiddle if...Read More

More pictures taken by Raya Carlisle of my room at the Summit showcase house, I love this window so much, and these romans I did I think add just the right amount of softness without taking away from the fabulous architecture. They are done in one of my all time favorite fabrics, very soft cotton...Read More
