Next up, Woodland Delight from Paula Prass!


I was thrilled to get the shipping notification that my order of Woodland Delight from the wonderful and talented Paula Prass will be arriving on Monday. I'm so excited that I almost wanted to begin listing it already! But I know from experience not to get ahead of myself. See it before selling it, is what I have to force myself to stick to!

So here is some general info and previews, and next week I'll get the listings for the collection pieces that I personally chose to carry at Fabric Flair. I wish I could have carried the entire series, but the budget doesn't allow that quite yet.

These are the 3 color ways for Woodland Delight.
I especially love the combinations of grey, red, and blue.
I feel like it takes me back, but in a modern way.



And some inspiration to go with it!

Meadowsweet from Sandi Henderson has arrived!


I am so excited to have this gorgeous and fresh fabric in my shop! Sandi Henderson has done very well this time around (as she always does). This is just so beautiful!


The browns, oranges, and greens are my personal favorites,
but really, what's not to love!

There are 2 colorways and I'm excited to have a bit from each.


On her blog Sandi describes the collection as as fresh, crisp, bright,
and inspired by the sweet things you would find in a meadow.

Here are a few of my favorites and where you can get them!


Be sure to stop by to see all the great fabrics from this collection listed at Fabric Flair!

Adding a few more from the Alhambra II Collection

Today I received a shipment of a few more fabrics from Patricia Bravo's Alhambra II collection for Art Gallery. One of the difficulties I have when I look at an Art Gallery collection is trying to decide which ones to pair together in sets. All the fabrics coordinate so well that just about any 2 will go together. The sets are fun to make and I find I have to hold back or I'd list just about every combination possible!

Decor Shop Closing on Etsy

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to close my Simplicity Interiors shop on Etsy. After all, it's where I began. My love for creating-to-decorate drove me to want to make decor that I could share with others. Unfortunately I have reached a crossroads. My love of fabric has launched me full steam ahead into selling quilting and decor fabric at Fabric Flair, and now I just do not have the time to spend. My wonderful little, high-maintenance, almost 2 year old does not allow me any time to sew. Nor am I able to realize the 20 million other ideas waiting to be crafted that are floating around in my head!

So I am marking everything down to store clearance prices, running a store closing sale, and then moving on, hopefully to bigger and better things! And who knows, eventually my little one will go to kindergarten, maybe I'll get some time then!

Here are a few of my favorites!

Something Pretty from Studio E

Last week marked the arrival of one of Studio E's pretty new collections, Gabrielle. Gabrielle is somehow very bright and very soft at the same time. It has beautiful color combinations of magenta, rust, pink, teal, and lime. A closer look shows an almost hand painted quality. Almost any of the fabrics coordinate so well! This is only part of the collection that I got in, so come on over and see more at Fabric Flair!

Where oh where...!

I have sort of let my blog fall behind. Way behind. With all the changes happening at Fabric Flair, the addition of new fabric lines and larger purchase orders, AND the beloved stage known as the "terrible two's", I've inadvertently let some things behind.

I do want to take a moment to introduce some of the new fabrics that are currently listed at Fabric Flair. The new Riley Blake line Bloom and Grow has arrived and is going fast! Within 2 days I needed to reorder the Flowers and Birds in Cream (which suddenly also seems to be called large bloom or something similar, there weren't names listed when I got them!) The collection is so much fun! Take some time to stop by and check them out...

Speaking of Black and White

I just received this fabric in today. When it went on sale with the manufacturer, it sold out within an hour. It is beautifully flocked onto white cotton. The petals are bold and velvety. Check it out!
