Emerald Isle Style

As many of you well know, oftentimes my inspiration for a new design begins with fabric. This time, a glimmering vintage brooch was the spark that set the fire. When I came across a brilliant, rhinestone crystal shamrock, I immediately knew this brooch had to become the focal piece for a new ring pillow. This brooch was so inspiring, I've decided to add an entirely new collection to the bridal shop -- each centered around a vintage brooch.

Once I had this brooch in hand, I knew exactly which fabric would be its partner -- an emerald green and ivory linen toile designed by Laura Ashley. The delicate flowers and vines of this print grace a creamy background. A coordinating double-sided, green and yellow satin bow and this pillow was complete. To me this pillow speaks softly of the ever-beautiful Emerald Isle -- something we can all appreciate. After all, whether or not the branches of our family tree sprouted in Ireland, we can all certainly use a little "luck of the Irish".

Irish Blessing

May the light of friendship guide your paths together.
May the laughter of children grace the halls of your home.
May the joy of living for one another trip a smile from your lips, a twinkle from your eye.
