I don’t usually work in full collections but I got inspired and developed one for my Summer Day floral pattern. There are bright sunny daisies, bunches of berries, throwback ginghams and micro-geometric coordinates. Perfect for sundresses, picnics and backyard dinner parties. Bring on summer!

Tulips are one of my favorite flowers, partly because they're so colorful and partly because every February when they start showing up in grocery stores, I know we've turned the corner on winter and spring will soon be here. Happy Spring!

A happy floral to celebrate both my daughter's and my COVID tests came back negative. (Can't wait to get a vaccine.)

Every day would be sunny if you woke up to cheerful yellow bedding, wouldn't it! I think this simple floral would be cute in a little girl's room. Pink has been the de-facto color for girls for soooo long and I'm glad that's finally starting to change. I didn't want pink for my daughter's room (19 years ago!) and I had such a hard time finding anything else. Last time I walked through @Target I was pleasantly surprised to see how many cute gender-neutral options they had. Progress!

After selling a bunch of my floral patterns last month (yay!) my portfolio is looking a little bare in the flower department. So I'm busy creating new ones including this sweet little garden pattern I'm calling Summer Day.
