Vintage Style Botanical Prints for Mom

Let the 18th-century fascination with the natural world bloom in your home. In an era of of burgeoning trade and colonization, Europeans discovered plants and animals from distant lands. Westerners eagerly cultivated exotic species, and used images of flowers, such as the magnolia from the American South, on every sort of decorative object. This reproduction Colonial Williamsburg Botanical Print Collection draws inspiration from the storied florals found in rare books, botanical prints, textiles, and other design sources in the collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, as well as from the 18th-century style gardens in Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area. Set includes six vintage style floral prints with antique white aged wood frame with hints of gold. Each 10"L x 13"H

Sew What! Bags

Take one look in my closets and you'll quickly learn that I have a bit of a thing for bags. Doesn't every girl? Imagine being able to create your own bags with fabrics you love. Think you don't have the time or expertise? Designer Lexie Barnes makes it easy in her new book,"Sew What! Bags."

Lexie shows you how to create bags with pockets where you need them, straps that feel good on your shoulder, and dimensions that work for whatever you want to carry. Lexie's simple instructions make it painless and fun to sew totes, messenger bags, drawstring sacks, handbags, and much more--exactly what you want, exactly the way you want it.

Trust me, if there is anyone who can appreciate the need for great, functional design it's Lexie. She's a busy mom with four young boys, an entrepreneur and self-taught designer with her own successful line of handbags and accessories, and she is also the founder and director of Twist, a contemporary craft and arts event in Northampton, MA.
