A Villa on the Mediterranean Coast...

Doesn't that sound fabulous?  Thought so.


This is Sasso By the Sea - soon to be Palazzo Avino, on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, and I've had it on my bucket list of go-to spots since 2010.

I have pined over this photo so long that when I started working on one of my latest collections, I turned back to it for color confirmation.  I'm not a real "Follow the Trends" sort of person as far as color palettes; I tend to just work in the colors that I love.
And I love these!


The shifting Turquoise colors of the sea, the saturated Plums of the Bougainvillea, the Earthy Greens and Saffrons are so Happy together.  So, I named the collection "Mediterranean Villa".


These are my test swatches from Spoonflower Fabrics, and I'm so happy with the fabric at the top of the picture...a lovely Cotton/Linen blend that just presents the colors beautifully.  

Makes me want to do some Parson's Chairs...

And some soft pillows out of the lustrous Cotton Silk - third fabric down on the picture...

Now I just need to get those chairs into a room in a villa on the Mediterranean.  That is painted Saffron Yellow, and has Bougainvillea trailing over the walls...

Jeremy and I are *dying* to go to the Amalfi coast-- he went many years ago and it's one of his favorite places anywhere! We should plan a big vacation for all of us!

I also love the prints-- the two on the bottom are my favorites!

Keiko, I sure hope to be able to go here someday, but I will probably just have to satisfy myself with looking (longingly) at the beautiful pictures of this area! While sitting in my chair, of course.

Meg, thanks so much - Wow, I'm so jealous that Jeremy has been there already! He can be our tour guide:) when my ship of money comes sailing up to my dock! I never lose hope...
