Marburger Farms Antique Festival

If you don't know about this secret... you need to know now! Twice a year in Round Top Texas (between Austin and Houston) is the most amazing festival of incredible antique fairs, markets and everything inbetween! This is where Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic has her amazing Prairie Inn B and B and where she shops flea market style for years now. This is where she finds all of those pink dressers, and rose paintings, lace lamp shades and so much more. Or if you're into the whole Americana thing... well can you say old time QUILTS... OH yes! And then there's the French Provincial pieces and old English style pieces... From rugs to furniture, architectural finds and old jewelry. It's an amazing time, and in the middle of this 4 week event is MARBURGER FARM. Here's where the creme de la creme of the antiques are found... and folks fly in for the day to visit!!! So folks from every neck of the woods, globe and well, all types of wallets. Collectors, decorators, stores wanting to prop for the year, film industry set designers and so many more...
Kev and I are lucky enough to be spending several days out there, and we're so excited about our partnership with the most amazing little store in Round Top called MimiBella. Romantic, sweet and gorgeous store in a little house!!! Well part of the store now houses a delicious and enormous collection of Tina Givens Couture, as well as Cid Pear stationery... and we can't wait!

If you have a pocket of time between April 2-7, pop in and see us! And oh, visit the country's best antique fairs ever!

Fall 13

 

New York was such a lovely little respit for us this past weekend. I know, New York? Restful? Yes indeed. We had such a quiet and lovely time. Took it all in and took the time to rest between appointments. It was so good. Great food of course and long chats with bubbley water and strawberries to snack on with our lovely customers. They each visited and oohed and aahed at all the new looks and colors. So great!
Our showroom was a quiet little spot with a lovely velvet couch in light blue, with a large lamp hanging over the coffee table. Glass cloches sat on the table covered in pearls, and vintage chain, faceted stones and hand forged pendants. Spattered with long ribbons of raw linen in ivory and white and pinks. The ribbons spilled in pools throughout the room. Racks were full and separated by season and hues. Spring Summer colors in white, ivory, light baby pink, meadow blue, taupe, cobolt and chocolate. Fall looks in rich truffle browns, chocolate, smokey grey, midnight blue and a bit of bright autumn gold, plum and sea pink. Of course perfect white shirts with vintage buttons and patches of vintage fabric prints. More pics to come.
My new lovely Selena Strap dress is above, shown in truffle, sea pink and chocolate. Doesn't it look like an ice-cream flavor of sorts - Neopolitan?

We returned to a bustling studio, new fabrics came in today and loads of boxes are shipping out. My team is amazing, and Kevin and I are back in the swing of things.

I send kisses and hugs your way. t

Prairie Linen in Chocolate / Plum

Frilly Jane Tunic

As the sun comes across my desk this morning I contemplate wearing my Prairie Linen dress in chocolate and plum to my next event in Atlanta. I am so excited to see old friends. My Cid Pear product line with CR Gibson is so gorgeous this year, and the presentation is amazing. Can't wait to share. In the meantime, I get to select my wardrobe for the next few days relaxing and playing with old and new friends.
Have a gorgeous day!

Fall days come hither

Shipping these pieces out to our beautiful Canadian stores, and states of Louisiana, Texas, New York and North Carolina this week. Top to bottom Georgina shirt over Slip Short in tangerine Morris voile; Diedre Jacket over Angel dress in rose pink; Evolution shirt over Slip Short in Garden Grenadine; Rose Pink Suzana jacket shown in rose pink, Raw slip in heavy weight linen, and our infamous Prairie Slip dress, shown over bubble and petticoat skirts. 

As I watch thee leaves on your limbs turn to tangerine, grenadine and rose, the northern breeze slips through stirring the air and the clouds. I seem to bubble back and forth and my slips wave freely as if to say hooray, change is near and change is always good. Dreamy fall days come hither and I will smile a small smile knowing I am dressed for thee.
