KNEE-DEEP IN APPLIQUES

My new line of Cashmere Homewares is in the making for 2015: pillows, throws, table runners, placemats, coasters, accessories, and kids' rooms wall decor ~ all designed with handcut cashmere appliques: friendly graphic shapes with bold pops of color! All new cashmere homewares will be available from my website mid-March.
