We live close to the earth here. The colors, shapes and textures change constantly. We are surrounded by vibrant and subtle hues of color. The deep yellow gold of the last sun flowers, the sun kissed hay of the salt water marsh, the dune grass on the beach that is still a soft light yellow green, often splashed with vibrant goldenrod, the ocean water, sometimes steely gray, sometimes electric blue, sometimes midnight dark, the quiet of the white shells that wash ashore. These all nourish our senses. We are calmed by some and stirred by others. One needs to focus. There is so much to see. So much to savor.
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring
We hope you will love these first new patterns from our fall 2012 season as much as we do, elegant, minimal, in muted hushed tones to ease into fall.
