I just wanted to share some pics of some lovely handmade objects that two creative ladies sent me....Heike Stebner, who I have mentioned before, is the creative force behind kakikoma and Britta Beeh is the creator behind bsimple. I love Heike's new breakfast/cutting boards and the purple gecko bag she has in her shop now, and Britta has some lovely scarves for adults and kids in her shop...handmade forever!!!

new ribbons, bias binding & trims





Over the weekend I stocked our virtual shelves with new polka dot bias bindings, gingham bias bindings, rick rack & woven ribbons. The bias bindings and rick rack can be found in the Cotton Ribbons & Trims category. Too cute.

linen blends




Some great new cotton linen blends are online now at volksfaden. These are 150cm wide and 55% linen, 45% cotton. Some subdued colors and some not so subdued colors....pictured above are the less subdued.

chez moi




Here are some new delicately colored designs from Chez Moi. The designer behind Chez Moi handpaints each of her designs first in traditional water colors before they are transposed into fabric. I think this gives them a very soft coloring and design sensibility. Very feminine. volksfaden

maison sajou, paris




A few weeks ago I went to the big trade fair in Cologne, Handarbeit & Hobby, and fell in love with the products of Maison Sajou. The packaging alone is fabulous, and of course the products are lovely. Pictured above are some of their 100% cotton ribbons we are now offering to you at Volksfaden.
