NEWS FROM THE STUDIO:

FALL woolens are back!

I source wool from the PENDLETON MILL ENDS STORE year round. I love the challenge of reworking such quality mill ends, into one of a kind pillows, that are so great for cozying up your home. This is when I start to layer in a few wool blankets and pillows around the house.

CUSTOM BEDDING

Last year I launched a custom bedding program for a local furniture store, LEGACY MODERN. The duvet cover and shams shown are made of a light weight Pendleton wool, lined with high quality Egyptian cotton sheets. The set comes with a cream, cotton queen size fitted sheet and two standard size cotton shams. The indigo cotton sheets shown below are not included in this set. I really like to beef up the bedding when it is on display. I have this for sale in my store right now.

You may also purchase the heavier weight euro shams and blanket. This creates a more layered, cozy look.

While designing the bed program,I also came up with this checklist for how to style a bed.

I wanted to share it with you all.

OUT & ABOUT

Our neighbor just shared a few pics of her hike today around Blue Lake, about 20 miles from Portland. That’s looking like Fall, folks.

This past weekend, I started taking riding lessons again. We went on a wonderful trail ride through the woods. It’s been awhile, so I’m facing my fears with saddling up a horse, leading it out to the ring, etc.

How about you, what do you have planned for Fall?

Wishing you all a wonderful, enchanting autumn and as always, thanks for reading!

Our Little Cabin in the Woods

Chronicles from a Well Lived House...

Every December since the kids were small we’ve gone to Silver Falls State Park for their annual Holiday Festival. It seems crazy to take off and leave in the middle of one of the busy times of the year but I’ve come to realize as an entrepreneur and mother, a couple days and nights in an ancient forest is often exactly what we all need.

We take hikes, explore, go to the festival – and make crafts, and wreaths, and birdhouses. And when we are back at our little cabin, we read, play cards, talk and relax.

The air is so fresh and the forest is lush and rich with ferns and moss.

Within a one mile loop you can see two stunning waterfalls.

After marching in a protest about climate change this Fall with my kids, listening to Gretta and taking an online clutter clearing course by Denise Linn this past Summer I am less inclined to buy as much this year for Christmas. I am trying to be more thoughtful about gifting things that are truly useful.

And that are more in tune with the earth and have a lower impact on the planet.

You can see how the Pendleton textiles blend so nicely with the outdoors.

That’s one of the reasons I chose to use salvaged mill ends from the Pendleton factory this Fall and Winter. The textiles are all natural fibers and would otherwise be thrown away. I love the hunt for cool stuff in their bins. And I have to say, I have given many, many gifts made from Pendleton wool to my brother, Dad, in-laws, friends, and neighbors over the past couple years and everyone seems to truly appreciate them.

The leftover Umatilla plaid they use for the shirts are such lovely color mixes and super soft. And I love the leftover blanket scraps and fringe I can add to the cushions.

I’ve also started selling patches which you can buy on their own or have applied to accent pillows. A portion of the proceeds from all patches sold is donated to The Oregon State Park Foundation.

There is a FLASH SALE going on for the next two days on all ready-to ship items at my ETSY store. Take a look! Just let me know in the notes at checkout if you want anything gift wrapped. Friday, Dec 20th is the last day to guarantee delivery with priority mail. Thank you, thank you, thank you for following along.

Have a wonderful holiday next week and try to get to the woods!
