July

July granted me the freedom to do just about everything any girl would like to do, and I fit it all into 3 short weeks.  My second nephew turned 1...visited 2 sets of lovely long time friends at the beach...had many a mexican meal...first nephew and I enjoyed relaxing in our house clothes...celebrated at Dad's...nail time with sister...dinner under a magnolia tree...shopping galore...fantastic brainstorming with clients.  Oh, and how could I forget...new Laura Fair product!

The new collections for Lone Elm Studios debuted in Atlanta in a fabulous new showroom.  Capitalizing on traditional lace designs with a twist, we have the Lace collection with Perpetual Calendars, Memo Boards, and a Clock (how cool, right?).  The next collection is Golden Honey with a hint of deco design and warm colors it too has Perpetual Calendars, Memo Boards, and a Clock.  If you are a retailer and are interested in carrying these Laura Fair products, you may contact Lone Elm Studios.

My return to Tuscany has been filled with new developments and designs...it just keeps getting better.  On top of that...I have more products to show you very soon....

L'estate

Ahhhh...l'estate...summertime.  After what seemed to be an endless Winter...she jumped right into Spring's place.  Oh how welcome she is...those long lazy evenings and dinners with views.

Pillow Mania

I am ecstatic to finally be able to reveal these collections to you!  I have been dying to create a line of home accent pillows.  Pillows offer such variety and really are the perfect way to feel like you have redecorated the entire house without spending loads of money.  

Rizzy Home and I have partnered up again, this time to produce 4 collections of Laura Fair Pillows and they just debuted at the High Point Market.  Printed on a variety of cottons and flax, we've added special embroidered details and piping...I am in love with the way these pillows look and feel.  With a little display help from a couch...here they are, 

the Laura Fair Pillow Collections.

Moody Marine

A rich combination of all we love about the sea...pale greens, navy blues, and greys.

Spoleto

Inspired by the quaint Umbrian town and its spectacularly decorative cathedral.

Mint Juleps

A playfully splashy retro combination of greens, blues and oranges.

Chinoiserie Birds

I spied a beautiful embroidered tapestry on a visit to the Arezzo antiques market and was compelled to create a modern homage to it.

I would love to know which Collection is your favorite...I can't decide.  Somehow I have the feeling that I will end up with all of them at some point in the house!

Just popping in to say Happy Holidays to all of you! 

I thank you so much for your continued support you give to me. 
2012 was a great year, and I am wishing for more in 2013. 

(I also had to add a little private note from Ciccia Maria and Gatto Matto Leo.)  

Hope your holidays are wonderful.  Auguri di Buone Feste dalla Toscana!

Estate

Summer took a while to show its face around here...but when it did, it came with a vengeance.  Days blurred together in the haze, but I can't complain.  A natural born 9 hour-a-night sleeper changed her patterns.  Sweet heat granted me the rare chance to rise early and gaze upon the beauty that is dawn, lazily nap in the fire of the afternoon and savor the stunning sunset dusk.  Just think what I might have missed...
