It's been several months since I attended the Premiere Vision NY textile show back in July and I've been meaning to blog about it back in the Fall but have been bombarded with work and exciting surprises that I'll share with you all in a later post.

All I can say about this textile tradeshow is if you're not a big company then don’t go. As my husband and I walked from booth to booth to source fabrics from all over the world, we were greeted, by most, in a friendly manner and had the pleasure of being sarcastically complimented by a gentleman...

We're on Etsy, yayyyy!

You saw something you like, and it’s sold out. Fear no more, go to our Etsy page where many of our design can be found in our ‘made-to-order’ collection. Be aware that quantities are limited on Etsy as well.
