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!!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Thought for the day . . .

"Spend more, buy less.
Cheap stuff is usually cheap because of how it's made, what it's made of and who made it.  Buy better quality goods, less often . . ."

Happy Weekend!

Bainbridge Blues in Country Home . . .

We loved Country Home magazine 
and were saddened when it was shuttered  
along with a number of other wonderful publications - 
domino, House & Garden, Met Home, Gourmet . . .

We were especially sorry because 
Country Home had just completed a photo shoot 
using several of Bainbridge Blues' fabrics. 

As luck would have it, the magazine collapsed 
one month before the article was to go to print!

BUT - there is a silver lining . . . read on . . .

Recently, Country Home released its second "special edition" issue featuring 

favorite homes from previous issues . . . as well as lovely homes in new 
locations - all presented in a slightly different format . . .

What a pleasant surprise to discover the very article featuring our fabrics 

in this new issue . . . while we were browsing in a magazine stand at the airport!

So . . . we now know that in the lovely home of an antique dealer in Indiana 
a settee is upholstered in our "timothy",
draped with a double sided, blanket stitched throw of "frances" 
and a lumbar pillow in "dylan"!

The stylists for the photo shoot slip-covered the wingback chairs in "william" 
and had throw pillows done  in "hattie".

We sincerely hope this stylish magazine comes back monthly someday!
