Plum Pretty Sugar

There is always that 'something' that makes each individual giddy with excitement. It could be a new beauty product, a specific designer, or genre of music, a new kitchen appliance, new sheets, a new gadget.. you get my drift. My 'giddy' comes from textiles. Beautiful color palettes on a piece of fabric. I actually just realized this not so long ago. So much so, that I found myself furiously looking for new pattern ideas, whistful colors, bohemian lavenders and golds, anything that made me gasp and think "God, I would love to make something out of that - a tunic? Couch? Tapestry? Can I just cut it out and stick it on my wall with scotch tape?" That's when I came across Plum Pretty Sugar. THAT is what I would create. Even their fabric is called 'whisper-soft cotton voile'. Their textile choices are so dreamy I would feel a little bit like a kid again playing 'Princess Something' with Elephante the stuffed animal with it's flat smushed nose. (Everyone had something like that, no?)

My darlings, next time you're in a funk and wonder what the heck is going to reel you back in, sink into yourself and look around you. Whatever makes your eyes widen and your breath quicken, probably makes that one thing a helluva good start. Here's to you smiling...
