Also, since I'm considering slipcovers for a fabulous vintage sofa, I can't get these out of my mind (at the Villa Medici, no less):
(from The Way we Live: An Ultimate Guide for Global Design Inspiration -- my new favorite decor/environment book, seriously. Don't judge by the boring cover; it has incredible images from around the world--spaces humble to opulent--unlike anything I've seen recently!)
Also, it's the best season for fruit (to my mind, anyway):
So, I'm making new pinkish red jewels for your ears this coming season!
