The Whimsey Chronicles - A Must See!

Recently, I was searching for vintage fabric on Etsy and I stumbled on the most amazing textile and wallpaper designer. Her name is Meredith, she owns and operates The Whimsey Chronicles.  I'm going to let her explain the rest...

"A little background - I've practiced commercial interior design for a dozen years and have always had a strong interest in fabric and fashion. I decided to redefine my career path upon re-examining what my true design passions and aspirations were ... textiles and wallpaper! I use Autocad to sketch out my designs and I look for color and image inspiration everywhere: in architecture, signage, fashion, vintage illustrations, to name a few. Every collection begins as a story in my head, with characters and actions, so that I simply feel like I am bringing those things to life as I meticulously place them in a pattern. In fact, a story is included with each pattern to explain how the pattern was designed which truly makes them "storybook textiles & wallpapers." ~Meredith- The Whimsey Chronicles


Here are some example of patterns and products that can be found in her shop:

Not Yet Released, but coming soon as announced in her blog post today!


The photo above is an image of The Whimsey Chronicles newest collection.  Do you "sea" the seahorse?  Please visit The Whimsey Chronicles website to view the entire collection.  If you take the time to look at her collection, I believe you'll fall in love just as I did (if you haven't already).  I would have to guess that we'll be seeing a lot more of The Whimsey Chronicles in the future, so I'm happy that I've had the chance to share it with you here today.

Hope to see you soon,
Kristina

Lilly Inspired Labels

My friends over at Razmatags just listed the cutest Lilly-inspired labels in their Razmatags Etsy shop. I use these dishwasher safe, waterproof labels every day (honestly, not just saying that- I use them constantly). I love them. They last forever. They're made with a special vinyl that withstands the test of time and the abuse my girls offer their lunch bags, which is huge. Take a look at these:

Very Jane Feature

Just wanted to post a quick link to Very Jane.  My Back to school "Teacher's Pet" headbands are featured on the site today. They are available through Very Jane (.com) for half price, so that's only $3.75 each!

Very Jane is my favorite "Deal of the Day" site and I'm not just saying that because my items are on the website today, it's actually a great site.  I buy items on Very Jane all the time. So even if the headbands don't interest you, it's worth checking out for their other daily deals.

Click Here for the listing. Here are a few photos of my feature.
