aprons...


we'll be adding several new aprons to the shop this week... in full, utility, and half sizes.

and, for those in the atlanta area, prairie seed will be vending at the grant park farmer's market this sunday morning.  lots of aprons, napkins, market totes, coasters, cloth produce bags, and much more (and of course the delicious produce from the wonderful local farmers!)... just in time for holiday backyard gatherings

graham and green...


a few of our favorites from graham and green...

a beautifully neutral collection of pieces.  a bit eclectic. sweet little pops of color...

a little from founder antonia graham:

"I have fond memories of travelling to buy kelims and rugs in Istanbul in fur lined boots in the freezing, but hospitable carpet warehouses and during a very cold weekend in Beijing we went to the farmers market to discover a girl selling beautiful traditional Chinese lanterns. She was the daughter of a well known actor in the National Theatre and lantern making was the family’s way of supplementing his income! We placed a small order at first, but we have been ordering regularly since then. That is exactly why I love doing what we do, forging relationships on chance meetings and bringing beautiful things back for others to enjoy...

We like to think that our customers care about their surroundings as much as they care about their clothes and how they look. It’s a lifestyle. A contemporary mix of old and new, things brought home from travels abroad, memories of people dear, put together in an interesting way so that it works and provides a peaceful and inspiring background for today’s busy life."

shop update...


sweetly simple, sachet love... coming to the shop throughout the week.  each filled with deliciously aromatic dried lavender buds


lovely lavender embroidered heart sachet pillow, made from tea-dyed cotton, and backed with a pretty recycled vintage quilt.  ready to tuck under your pillow, for a peaceful sleep.  or used as a bookend, to sweetly scent a room. or heated and placed under your neck, after a long day... 





a relaxing eye pillow, with hand stitching on sweet recycled cotton prints... love tucking these in with a freshly laundered pile of linens, as well...





another sweet heart sachet, embroidered on a rose hued linen, and backed with a recycled floral print cotton... ready for hanging on a door, or dresser, or bedpost
