Muted Plaid Flannel Pillows

Posted on | December 22, 2009 | 3 Comments

I’ve been eyeing these plaid flannel pillows from Toast all fall. Do you think they will go on sale after Christmas? I love them. They could be really cute with the gray wool blanket I ordered from MacAusland Woolen Mills? Go on sale, please.

Liane from Enhabiten

Posted on | December 11, 2009 | 2 Comments

Tara sent this great new handmade portrait etsy video she shot of Liane from Enhabiten. I’ve gotten to know Liane via the blogging world but seeing her in her element completely captivated me. Liane who started as a painter makes beautiful pillows using vintage fabrics and natural materials. Her studio in New Hampshire is filled with gorgeous florals and linens she has collected at local flea markets. I know she was feeling a bit shy about having a video of herself out in the world. Root her on and tell her she’s great on her blog. Below just a few of wares for sale at her etsy shop: enhabiten.etsy.com. My favorite are her cross pillows.

Thinking About Plaid Pillows & Blankets For Fall

toast plaid blankets fall 2009 500x334 Thinking About Plaid Pillows & Blankets For Fall

I know a lot of us don’t want to accept that fall is just around the corner. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Apple cider, apple picking, the smell of burning leaves, and cool crisp nights. Sounds delightful!

I can’t stop thinking about plaid and how I’m seeing the print pop everywhere this fall. Toast has a great new line of plaid pillows. Super cute in different patterns layered on a sofa. Extend the look into the bedroom with Paulette Rollo’s pretty watercolor plaid blankets (below). I spotted Paulette’s work this summer at Smitten in Wiscasset, Maine. Paulette’s blankets are beautiful and super high quality. See more patterns and colors on her website.

I’m kinda obsessed with ombre. It combines my love of color with my admiration for stripes. Beautiful merino lambswool pillows and bedding designed in Scotland by Kate infuse a sense of modernism into a traditional material. Check out more over at papastour.com.
