The GOOD FOLKS are here!!

Only a few gray days ago, our dearly loved UPS man rolled up to our front door. His dolly brought in slippery tracks of slush and salt but this didn't matter so much once we saw who he brought with him. It's the "Good Folks" by Anna Maria. Twenty-one new beautiful prints. Bright blooms cheerfully alluding to the Spring to come.


What divine timing. Seeing as how much of Columbus is all gray/brown and icy these days. We needed a heavy saturation of color. And who better to deliver color then the brilliant designer Anna Maria Horner.




Certainly I couldn't go home without a happy little pile of my own.

Here's to new projects and neglected house work! :)

Coming soon,

but not soon enough!
We are so excited about Anna Maria Horner's new collection Good Folks. I wanted to share these slideshows she just linked on her blog...



Gorgeous, right?



They are all so vibrant and unique.
I already have at least half a dozen projects in mind for these beauties. . .
Oh Mr.UPS Man please bring us Good Folks soon!

Also, I love the way she describes her inspiration for these prints, so be sure to read that in her post here.

Yeah!!

Healthy and happy.
Aelyn's back to her old tricks... running around "her" shoppe, eagerly awaiting customers to entertain by dancing to Moby, sprawling herself out in the middle of the sales floor...
or just sitting cutely on her shelf amongst the beautiful prints of Anna Maria. :)
