Picking Daisies......

"Daisies
are such
happy
flowers,
don't
you
think?"
from 
You've Got Mail


Daisies
ARE
such
happy flowers...
and
is
such
a
happy
name
for
a
store!

What do you think you would find
at
a store
called
Picking Daisies?

Flowers? Gardening supplies? Children's clothing?
Beautiful cloth napkins?

No..

YEAH!!!
IMG_0445
Not
only
beautiful
cloth napkins,
but
easy care
no iron
cloth napkins
in a
myriad
of colors
patterns
and
themes

when
you
walk in
Picking Daisies
there is always
a
little
table
set
with
a theme
like
"back to school"
IMG_0458
set
with
lovely
napkins



there
are
cheery
aprons
IMG_0446

and
h u n d r e d s
of
gorgeous napkins
IMG_0447

The thing
is
"no matchy"
which is so fun
set yourself free
IMG_0449

you can choose
a color
and if
your eyes move
up and down
all the napkins
rhyme
with
coordinating
colors

the napkins
all
mixed together
make
for
such
a fun
tablescape

For instance,
you see
a
napkin
with
an
owl
below that
is
a napkin
in similar
colors
with
autumn leaves
and
then
gorgeous circles
(in similar colors)
and then
sunflowers
Love it!!!!

and what is especially fun,
you can buy
fabric
by the yard
and
sew
fun
things..

pillows, placemats,
table runners

and
even
cut
triangles
for banners

I LOVE THIS FABRIC!
IMG_0457
it is going to be
on
the tables
at Petit Soleil
(mixed with other coordinating" fabrics, of course)

If you have been
to Petit
in the past
couple of
years
you will have
seen
napkins
dressing
each of our
dining tables
and
I alway use
Picking Daisies
napkins
at
home
because
they
are so
cheery
and
I can throw them in the
washer and dryer
they clean beautifully
and no ironing
(and no extra paper littering our environment)

Picking Daisies
always
has
gorgeous art
(they
often highlight
artists

So
free your spirit
of
stressful
matchy- matchy

and
visit
Kay and Dede
\IMG_0460
and
have
some
fun
570 Higuera St.
in
The Creamery
P.s.
Kay and Dede
MAKE ALL THE NAPKINS THEMSELVES

PPSS
We are
considering
ridding
ourselves
of paper napkins
at Petit
and using
Picking Daisies napkins
....just need to figure out the logistics,
but, Hello?,
how cute is that idea?
