Another Spring ERMIE 2011 print that I have made some one-off items from that I will be selling here October 23rd & 24th!

Looks like a Madras Plaid or a something resembling a Pendleton blanket print from a distance- but it is not. Look closer- it is actually a fish scale print (aka: Uroko Gata...my Great Aunt Ermie loved Japan, and traveled there extensively). I will be offering this print in three colorways: Rainbow Trout, Goldfish, and Koi in 100% Cotton Lawn.

This lovely pattern was lifted from my pal Kelly White's goldfish- I took some pretty little photos of him (her?) at a recent BBQ at Kelly's & voila: Uroko Gata Print.

Avenue 51 Print and Magic Marker Silk Scarf

Some images of the Avenue 51 Print I designed for ERMIE Spring 2011. Shown above with the Magic Marker Print
Silk Scarf for F/W 2010.

The Avenue 51 Print is so named because it is made from a photograph I took of shadows on the sidewalk on Avenue 51 in Los Angeles. It is printed in 100% Cotton Lawn. I will also be trying it out in the 100% Silk Crepe de Chine that the Magic Marker Scarf is shown in above.

I will be selling the tunic and scarf at this upcoming sale locally.

The scarf will also be online for sale soon. I wanted to get the yardage up for the other fabrics this week, but I've been so busy trying to get things together for this sale, finalize the F/W collection...etc. etc. Hopefully this week (or the next) it will happen...all I can say is sorry, thank you for your patience and I'm trying to get things done as fast as I can :)

Does anyone else feel like they are being pulled in a million directions?

Fall 2010 Wishlist

You just never know what people are going to like--one of the things that surprises me the most about blogging are the posts people respond to! Some of my most viewed posts are my old "wishlists." Go figure (they really are wishlists...most of the items I never end up purchasing or being gifted. They really just serve to inspire me...).

Here's a new one for you wishlist fans!

Ironically, I'm really trying to Imagine No Possessions: Happy Birthday.
