New for Fall: Forest Green Coasters

November 6, 2014

Cotton & Flax tabletop goods

One of my favorite new products from the Fall/Winter collection are the new forest green coasters. These beauties are made from our usual super-thick and durable 100% wool felt, which means they’ll protect your furniture from hot or cold beverages during this busy season of entertaining. The rich forest green color will be a great compliment to holiday decor. I love the idea of using these coasters for cocktail hour, or adding a pop of color to your dining table for a holiday feast.

The new Forest coasters come in two patterns – confetti or triangle. I love the confetti pattern for Winter, in particular, because it reminds me of snowfall and evergreen trees.

Fall/Winter 2014 from Cotton & Flax

November 4, 2014

Cotton & Flax - Fall/Winter Collection

The Fall/Winter collection is finally here! I’ve got lots of fun new products to share, plus a beautiful lookbook shot by the talented Laure Joliet.

Cotton & Flax Coasters - New Fall colors

First up, some new coasters in a bold new color: Forest. I was excited to add a new color coaster to the mix for the first time in over a year. This Forest green color felt perfect for the season.

I’ve also got a new pattern in the mix, one that I’m calling Hills + Valleys. Depending on how you display this print, it looks like little hills, or repeating U shapes, thus, the descriptive name. As with all my other patterns, this design started as a sumi ink drawing, which I converted into a silkscreen to create multiples of this print.

Another fresh addition are these Holiday-edition tea towels, which are only available until January 2015! They are printed with the ever-popular Plus pattern design onto blue or black chambray, which instantly adds a handmade touch to any kitchen.

There are also some new, darker-hued colors of the plus pillow debuting with this collection: forest and navy. I love how sophisticated these pillows can look, especially when combined with leather seating.

I was delighted to shoot this lookbook in my friend Kristine‘s beautiful home – working with Laure to photograph this new collection was an absolute treat. You can visit the Cotton & Flax website to check out the full Fall/Winter lookbook. I hope you love these new additions as much as I do!

I’ll be adding these new products to the shop all day, so check in there to see what’s new! Let me know your favorites in the comments!

New Stockist: The LA Library Store

October 6, 2014

Los-angeles-central-library

Excited to announce another very special stockist – The Library Store here in LA! These folks run a retail shop inside the central downtown library, and the sales from the store benefit the Los Angeles Library Foundation. You might not know that many of my previous jobs before I founded Cotton & Flax were in bookstores and libraries (I’ve worked in four different libraries!), so being able to work together with the Library Foundation is pretty exciting for me.

The shop itself is adorable, and chocked full of awesome finds. Book bags are only the beginning: the library store has a great selection of stationery and paper goods, plus awesome gifts for anyone who enjoys a good book. They also have a store on wheels – a bookmobile of sorts; more like a mobile version of their amazing retail shop.

If you live in LA, check out the Library Store next time you’re downtown!
