Think Spring . . .


I was going through some old photos to post for . . .

"Throwback Thursdays". . .


and I came across a wonderful little photo shoot
that took place in my back yard in the Spring of 2008.

The photos were taken by our go-to photographer - Michael Jardine of Qamera . . .
who's eye behind the camera has always fascinated me!!
 
 
It was a beautiful Spring day . . . the sun was out . . .
and one little girl (Miss Hattie) was extremely happy to participate in all the excitement!

I believe the photos below tell the rest of the story . . .


















yes - even our crazy dog (Mr. Mack) was trying to get in on all the action!

I am so glad the seasons are beginning to change . . .
although I do wish one little girl would quit growing up so fast!

. . .

Welcome Spring . . .

let the sunshine in . . . flowers sprouting in the garden . . . laundry on the line . . .
and kids growing up much too fast . . .

the long dark days are over . . . time to mow the lawn . . . plant some seeds . . .
and freshen up your home . . . clean linens . . . fresh pillows . . .

new beginnings . . .

Autumn Gatherings . . .


We at Bainbridge Blues love this time of year . . .
the cooler days . . . the falling leaves . . . and the warmth of the colors . . .

 

and we also love the gatherings with both friends and family!

It is the time of year to enjoy one another . . .
and to celebrate all the season has to offer!


Next month we plan to have a little designer gathering . . .
with a theme of "Farm to Table" . . .


with small bites of local culinary delights . . .
and special sips of the season . . .


We want to take the time to celebrate this gorgeous time of year . . . 
to give thanks to our local designers who support us . . .
and to count our many blessings.


These images are part of our initial concept inspiration . . .
as designers - this is the place where we always start . . .


with images . . . colors . . . textures . . . and patterns . . .
all helping to define the feeling we want for such an occasion . . .
or often within our homes!


Wishing each and every one of you the very best of the season . . .

Enjoy!!

. . . . . . .

The Bainbridge Blues' fabrics shown above are - the "Marnie" . . .
a yarn dyed hemp houndstooth woven in cream and brown . . .

and our "Katie" . . .
our bird print on a cream hemp ground - also in cream and brown.

Both fabrics are 100% Hemp . . . designed here on Bainbridge Island . . .
woven in Italy . . . and printed here in the United States!

If you would like sampling of any of our fabrics . . .
please contact the designer showroom nearest you.

Sunshine!!


 Miss Chelsea and her favorite resting spot . . .
especially when the sun is shining!!


Of course - we think she is absolutely darling . . .
especially on this lovely seat cushion made up in our very own Bainbridge Blues fabric!
( Dylan - 1403A - 13 )

We also love how the throw pillow coordinates with it . . . made from a Brunschwig and Fils fabric.
( Le Lac Border Linen Print - BR-71165 )

Hope you are also enjoying a bit of sunshine . . .
on this crisp winter day!!
