Are you tired of your linen sheets losing their softness and shrinking after each wash? Linen bedding is adored for its comfort and durability, but preserving its quality requires specific care.

Stockings have two objectives - to amuse and delight, and to keep little children occupied. You yourself can have more fun choosing stocking stuffers than bigger presents, and at the same time you can show that you have noticed what each individual truly enjoys, and demonstrate your own outstanding taste and sense of humour. Go counter-intuitive! Maybe granny would like red silk underwear - maybe your millennial would be charmed by an embroidered antique Irish linen handkerchief. Anything small: Fidget toy, small perfume, bubble bath, a survival tool, our superior cocktail napkins, a pet brus ..read more

Since the 1800s, farming has run the gamut from natural to GMO. But now that governments have entered the fray with supportive subsidies, and organic farmers are making a concerted marketing effort to illustrate the value of this methodology, growth in the organic movement has accelerated. From its origins to today’s explosive industry expansion, we see how the organic food industry has grown over the last half-century into a global phenomenon. Communicating the key benefits of this type of agriculture is critical as it is a more expensive method of ..read more

A Visit with Tricia Rose of Rough Linen: The Original Coastal Grandma Reposted from Remodelista This just in from our longtime friend Tricia Rose, owner of Northern California company Rough Linen and a self-described coastal grandmother who lives (literally) in a boathouse perched on the edge of San Francisco Bay. Here’s her take on the Coastal Grandmother:   “The term Coastal Grandmother originated on TikTok by Lex Nicoleta, herself a decidedly un-grandmotherly twenty-six year old.

  If you love the seductive simplicity of white and still want to ring some changes, consider its perfect complement, black. Think of a dark room - moody, relaxed, introspective.  Having dark tones in the bedroom is restful, the room seems larger, and if the rest of your house has lighter colours, you can feel the switch in atmosphere as soon as you walk in the door - you are in your private space. If you want to go all-out, paint your walls, even your ceiling, and add the absolute sophistication of black linen curtains.  Myriad sheers will give you daytime privacy, while our ..read more

While walking yesterday my friend was telling me about a treat she made for her friend who was visiting after a long flight. Tea and hot shower, good soup, good bread, candles and a cosy fire, and an easy chat before turning in.  Doesn’t it sound wonderful? I love the idea, so I’m planning to pay it forward, but the other insight was that I could do it for myself.  Waffle means spoiling myself in my mind, it’s that simple.  I love the spa-like look and texture of waffle robes and towels, the way they sop up water so thirstily, the softness and slight abrasion if you want to ..read more

  Do you really need curtains? Not necessarily.  If you have a beautiful outlook, double glazed windows and no-one to invade your privacy, you might prefer to let it speak for itself.  The same goes for a feature window which is round, or has an arch - why cover it up?     If your windows are much taller or shorter than standard, you will need custom, to fit.  Even if your windows are small, it’s a good idea to place your rod as high next to the ceiling as possible, and have the fabric fall to the floor - it makes the window look bigger, and the room more unifie ..read more
