RELOVED Magazine & Dreamy Cashmere

Excited to have a little snippet about REVERIE Textiles in the UK Print magazine RELOVED the Creative Guide to Upcycling Your Home.

I love this magazine, it's packed with classy DIY projects of all sorts for making style statements with upcycled decor. My hope for REVERIE Textiles has been that my cashmere designs inspire a "wow" factor for kids' decor.

Thank you Sinead for contacting me for this spotlight and for spreading the love of upcycling!

ALL ABOUT PLAYING - Interview by PinkNouNou

My family has recently been featured on a blog called "All About Playing" by the lovely & talented Portuguese textiles designer & soft toy maker Ana of PinkNounou.

We had a ton of fun with this interview about how parents interact and play with their children from different locations across the globe. It was sweet to have shared about our daughters & our love of Midcoast Maine.

Thank you dear Ana for this interview opportunity to share a little bit about our lives as a family that loves to play together! I look forward to reading more interviews with other fun families in future posts!

I wanted share some of Ana's adorable PinkNounou soft toys that are my personal favorites from Fairy Tales:

Snow White & the Seven Dwarves softies

Little Red Riding Hood

Three Little Pigs

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.

LOVE TRIANGLES

A fun pun on triangles. Yes, they've been around (there's three sides to everything), but my dream is for triangles to keep thriving in home decor and fashion! Here's a sampling of my favorites (see source links). And a few of my REVERIE Triangle Cashmere Blankets and Pillows to follow.

Long Live Loving Triangles!
