kirkbrummelI seem to be focusing on color. It may be the fact that the temp is 60+ degrees; I purchased bulbs for the garden; and my husband and I rode bicycles this weekend. Could it be that spring is just around the corner?

This wonderful combination of plum & scarlet is from Kirk Brummel. Kirk Brummel fabrics are distributed by Brunschwig & Fils…a century old European fabric house that is now located in the US. For a history of fabric and design spend some time on the Brunschwig site. “Nobody does it better”
