Goodies in my in-box

Yummy stuff, courtesy of Fabric.com! My daughter's tastes must be rubbing off on me; I thought this Alexander Henry print (pictured) would make a very cool tote. In fact, if you look at their retro & mod quilting fabric, you'll find all sorts of delish prints. Amy Butler and more. Unfortunately I've missed their sale, but even their regular prices are good.

More retro treats, courtesy of Pottery Barn: quilts. Check these out.

HGTV.com's e-mail newsletter takes us to the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. New, enticing stuff, of course. My favorite: video on appliances for small kitchens. Lots of video, including top-10 must-haves.

Fabric, fabric, fabric

Some fabric sites and sources I like...


Melinamade --- Tres cool vintage-inspired fabrics and wallpapers. My favorites are the fun '50s patterns like Celestial Lemon, which comes in barkcloth and wallpaper. Who knows, if I ever tire of the colorblocks, this might show up in my bathroom.

Another retro fave: Reprodepot. Also has current designs from such names as Kaffe Fassett (love those knits!) and Amy Butler.


Speaking of Amy Butler ... her new Nigella collection has to be the hit of the blogosphere! It's everywhere ... and now it's here. I found out about this in an e-mail from an online fabric distributer ... I plan to order something for moi! (I think I want something for the dining room too.)

Another site I turn to for inspiration: Javis Davis. They primarily do custom bedding, but they have great combos of fabric patterns. My daughters' new quilt and duvet cover trace their roots here. Not just girl — or girly — stuff here either.
