Berry Birdy Garden Novelty Fabric

One of the best reasons to plant trees is not only to provide a wind break and shade but also a home for feathered friends. Cardinals, blue jays, sparrows, and orioles are seen resting among the limbs and leaves of our Berry Birdy Garden print! Use this fabric for table linens and coordinating kitchen accessories like hot pads and oven mitts!

Anchors Aweigh Nautical Fabric

There is something that is so comforting about being near the sea. You can smell the salty air before you even see the water. The cool sea breezes are irresistible on a hot inland afternoon. I love strolling up and down the coastline searching for shells, sea glass and other treasures washed ashore by the rolling waves as sea gulls circle overhead.

Since I only get to visit the ocean and don’t have the luxury of living on the coast I like to bring a little of the sea into my home via fabrics that compliment my seashore treasures. In fact, I’ve noticed that nautical fabric is all the rage in apparel for kids and adults alike. So, if you’re looking to freshen up your home, add a few of these decorative fabrics in your cart today!

Fabric for Your Little Ballerina

There is something about the ballet that appeals to little (and big) girls. The soft flowing fabrics and the iconic net tutus sets young minds to dreaming of fairy-tales, castles and prince charming. Perhaps you were taxied every week by your caring mother to learn how to pirouette perfectly or maybe you settled for whirling around in front of your dressing mirror as a child. Either way, if we’re honest, I’m sure we can recall a ballerina phase in our childhood.
