Our photo shoots are always pretty fun . . .

take a cool classic car . . .
mix in some wonderful Bainbridge Blues' pillows . . .

add in a very sweet and beautiful model . . .

and of course some beautiful Pacific Northwest sunshine . . .

and you have the perfect ingredients
for a fabulous photo shoot!

Here is what we ended up with . . .

Hoping for a little more of that glorious sunshine . . .

to show off our new "Spring Green" collection!

See you soon . . .

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!
