Trend Alert: Grain Sack Design

Vintage Grain Sacks are popping up everywhere. What was once considered a utilitarian vessel for the storage and transport of dry goods has now become the upholstery fabric of choice for designers everywhere. Used to cover accent pillows, upholster chairs, and even as artwork themselves, these one-of-a-kind grain sacks have become a statement among designers who embrace the re-use of old, time-worn, and collected materials.
Check out the link below to learn more about this unique trend in an article written for the Orange County Register.

We're expecting a fabulous new shipment of pillows made from these unique vintage textiles soon.
Be sure to visit us soon for first dibs on our one-of-a-kind items!

Simple Pleasures...

You don't have to have a degree in floral design to create an eye-catching arrangement. Often times one single bloom or sculptural branch can have more impact than a complicated bouquet.






So, pick up your best shears and head out into the yard to find that special something.
Go grand in the entry and dainty on the nightstand.

Don't Be Late!

Make sure everyone gets out the door on time for school each morning, and post family reminders on this multi-function chalkboard clock. It even has a place to clip on signed permission slips!
