Picnic Prints!

Now that the weather is warm it is time to fire up the grill and pack up the picnic basket. Eating outdoors at a park or by a lake this time of year is so refreshing. You just can’t beat the beautiful weather, not to mention having a place for the kids to run off all their energy. It’s not hard to see why picnics are such an iconic summer activity.

After years of use, spills and stains it’s probably about time to update your linens and blankets. We carry a great selection of prints that are perfect for your next picnic, including some classy outdoor fabric!

Vegetable Novelty Prints for the Gardener

Vegetables

Seems to me that I’ve meet several people who sew and are passionate gardeners too. Often the two seem to go mysteriously hand-in-hand. Perhaps it’s a love of color and beauty that makes creatives yearn to not only beautify their living quarters but everything around them. Gardening brings the beauty of the outdoors into our kitchens and in-turn our dinner table. So, if you’re a fan of veggies and fabric have I got news for you! We offer vegetable novelty prints for the gardener!

Who would’ve thought?! But here it is in true avante-garde fashion and flair, sweet pastries on print, styled into a tailored 3-piece suit, complete with coordinating carnation pink lining, lapel trim and tie to match. Originally designed by graphic artist George McCartney for Timeless Treasures Textiles (#GM C-5993) and then constructed into a suit for Katy Perry’s ‘California Girl’s’ video featuring none other than Long Island’s very own Snoop Dogg, our cupcake fabric has become the tie that binds east with west  and cute novelty prints with urban-pop culture.

Remember the Days!

Remember the days of old when you could run into your local corner store and fill that little brown bag up with an array of colorfully assorted candies all for a quarter. When Swedish fish were found by the pound in your mouth instead of by the schools in their homeland lakes, and licorice shoe strings stayed wrapped around your tongue instead of around the laces in your favorite ‘bo-bo’ kicks. These were the days of hopscotch and jump rope, jacks and hide-and-go-seek; when little boys could catch cooties from little girls, and little girls could catch heartbreaks from kindergarten hunks. In the days of old, summers lasted forever and every summer rainstorm left a rainbow across the sky.
