Vera at Crate & Barrel

Artist Vera Neumann's designs made into most American homes in the 60's and 70's, on either our mothers and grandmothers heads and necks or in their kitchens. Her appealing florals, fruits, bugs and patterns were used on scarves and kitchen linens. Like Marimekko, Vera is still popular today. She died in 1993 but her company is still creating products in the Vera style. They have partnered with Crate and Barrel to make this cute line of kitchen linens this summer.

lovely linen

Greet LeFevre, talented blogger and business woman, introduced the  readers of her beautiful blog Belgian Pearls to the linen products of Libeco, an established textile company in Belgium. I love linen, wearing it all summer at home and on beach vacations in the winter as I am a total wimp in the heat and need loose soft fabrics that breathe. They offer a beautiful well designed product line in perfect soft muted colors. Take a look.....

Shopping on their website is easy, they ship to the US. For a list of US stores that carry Libeco, go here.
