My first go-to gift for any new mother is always a plush, organic, baby blanket. Regardless of how many blankets she's already been gifted, another baby blanket can never go amiss.

What's great about all of these luxurious blankets is that they can be used to swaddle your Read more

Formaldehyde is used to reduce wrinkles in bedding (personally I'd rather deal with ironing sheets or sleeping on a wrinkly bed). Of course, pesticides Read more
I'm a huge fan of textile artist Amy Butler and her exuberant fabric patterns. My home reflects my enthusiasm, from the easy panel curtains I've sewn from her fabric line to the craft and lifestyle books that she's authored that populate my bookshelves. Even so, sometimes a room can benefit from the introduction of a more subtle pattern. That's why I was pleased to have the opportunity to try Read more
