Sogni d'Oro

I am absolutely elated to finally reveal the entire collection of Laura Fair bedding for Girls and Boys with Rizzy Home. I did a little sneak peek on the facebook page, but finally here they all are together:

Big Al already has "Surf's Up" (above) on order...cannot wait to see it in his little room. For those of you heading to the High Point Furniture Market this weekend...be sure to stop by the showroom for a look in person. They will be in Showplace space 3515.
Sweet dreams little ones...sogni d'oro!

Grace

Do you ever get to the point where you cannot turn on the news for fear there will be yet another heartbreaking story to be heard? This past week has been a killer for me...so much devastation, so many tears, so much concern for the future, and wondering...what can I do about it? What an inspiration the people of Japan have been for me, for all of us. A deep and profound reminder to get out of my own head and start living with the compassion in my heart.

(This fresco is just one of the millions of things I have grateful to have in my home...this graceful angel hovers above me while I work every day.)

Ashbury Collection

I was so happy to be able to see the collections in person in Atlanta at the Golden Rabbit showroom and now I can officially unveil a new collection to you! A poppy mix of floral beaded designs debuting with Golden Rabbit enamelware this season...my Laura Fair Ashbury Collection...designed with the trendiest colors of the moment, turquoise and green with a touch of honeysuckle pink.

And as luck would have it...look how great the NEW Ashbury dinnerware harmoniously coordinates with the Blue and Green Spring Damask patterns. Look out for the Laura Fair dinnerware in specialty boutiques starting in April.

Marzo

Primavera is approaching...the almonds are blooming...the sky is clear...the birds are chirping (including the pheasant perched on the table in the front yard)....this happens every March, Marzo, here in Tuscany. We experience the most beautiful touch of glorious Spring.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
~ Charles Dickens

I only hope I can slow down enough to step outside and tilt my face to the sun for a bit on one of these short lived days. Will be back soon with many more updates...as I have so much to tell....
