Tomorrow, more listening to people trying to sell her something. The blazer’s texture carries over the floral motif from the original picture, today’s scarf also has some beautiful flowers, and her jewelry also echoes the theme. While this jewelry is indeed floral, this subtle green is neither saccharine nor ingenuous. Floral yes, but nobody’s fragile flower…

You just described my fantasy life! :))
I am, however, truly impressed how some people can put colors together and create a work of art. Your start with art and start with a scarf series truly have opened my eyes to see more keenly. But I still want that life!
I love these posts because they are like mini glimpses into someone else's life (and suitcase). I can just imagine her sailing serenely through the airport too – you are an expert storyteller, both in words and wardrobes.
My new favorite pastime — little vignettes, suitably dressed. What fun!
Oh my…I love this! You have just flooded my mind with inspiration…thanks Janice!
What a wonderful coat! Love the colors you have selected, too–very true to (my) overall perception of that picture. I found this T-shirt, too: http://printallover.me/collections/cheetodreads/products/0000000p-flower-painting-floral-art
Janice, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to contact you, other than through G+ (which I am trying to resist). I am sure I am missing a very obvious piece of information, but it would be lovely if you could let us know!
I found it as a toiletries bag – http://rosabluemobile.moonfruit.com and the seller has a tumbler where she posts the pattern http://thefabricpress.tumblr.com/tagged/rosablue. Apparently she prints cotton. Interesting!
I have a red Gloverall duffle coat that I got in the men's department of a small clothing store years ago. I love it.
I have often had luck in men's departments; the clothes are frequently better made and better value (e.g. plain tee shirts in heavy cotton). Well done on the red duffle! Alice
Not sure what I like most about this post–the clothes or the prose!
Now, if only I were an important business woman. These colors are beautiful and timeless..!
This is perfection!
I love the use of floral motifs. Like you said, floral but not delicate or demure.
Hello Vivienne! Lovely to know the pattern gave you inspiration. I design and print my own cotton and my partner Penelope turns it into what we sell as Rosablue. I posted that image on Tumblr/Ello/Google+ some time ago as I do with many new patterns to get feedback from the larger social media audience. It helps get a better fix on who might like the work. This pattern has received 124000 notes on Tumblr but as popular as it might be with that lovely young bunch of folks, it's not the traditional rural romantic fare our own customers expect, so we have not developed it much beyond a few prototype wash bags. Anyhow, the original I posted on our Tumblr at http://thefabricpress.tumblr.com/ is a repeating tile, so you are free to use it as you like … All the best with your blog — Luca (& Penelope)
Love that fabric!!!! Wish we could buy yardage for quilting, would be a perfect border.
I love this color scheme–but is it my screen display, or do I not see any of the blue in your selections?
