Browns and whites with a bit of color. Shown here- quilted bedding in tiny floral and tiny dot prints with a couple of the brown and white frazadas we received last week. We have many with incredible color combinations as usual, but we also love the harder to find frazadas that are mainly brown and white. We were lucky this time to find several with different neutral combinations. It's getting very close to Fall... almost time to add some layers of warmth around the house!
texture + color <3
Several vintage Bolivian frazadas from a new batch we just received. The colors, as always, are out of this world! These are made of sheep's wool- they are wonderful used as rugs, throws and blankets. Typically the size is 5' by 5', but they can vary a bit. Every piece is one of a kind and a work of art!
We have unpacked some incredible textiles that arrived while we were out of town. The textures and colors are so beautiful- wool, cashmere and floral cotton throws, shawls, etc... No picture can do these justice, but hopefully you can see a bit of what they feel like. They are all one of a kind with some having a variation in a similar color. When a fantastic color meets the most luxurious texture, magic happens! These do look and feel like magic!
We have just returned home from an incredible trip and we are very excited about the treasures we found for the shop while we were away. We were in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for our beloved friends' wedding (which was out of this world!!) ... and we spent some time hunting for special things. What a vibrant, ALIVE atmosphere we were in. I have to say, it was incredible to see so many local shops, restaurants (with the absence of blaring music that makes your mind go numb... just the elegant sound of silverware and the hum of diners talking and laughing)... stands of all kinds, markets, kids playing in the streets, horses riding by with their riders decked out in big gowns and the men in beautiful suits and sombreros, fire works cracking for anything and everything that could be cause for celebration, handprinted signs everywhere, ingenious ideas for using every last bit of everything- shoeboxes, plastic bottles, etc, etc, etc. The wedding of our talented friends was the most amazing two night event - there was lots of dancing, beautiful mariachi's, a procession through town with giant paper mache bride and groom puppets, music and friends. I have never been very far south in Mexico and it has been 8 years since my mom has been to Mexico City... we both can't wait to go back! I started this with the intention to show these beautiful handprinted bags we found and got sidetracked... I think part of me still hasn't arrived back in Tucson yet.
To our lovely friends River and Luis <3 Congrats to you!!! And thank you for sharing Mexico with us <3
