This week has been all about neutrals-
specifically gold and tan.
The most sold neutral this week was a surprise-
it was the tan ticking stripe matelasse fabric!
It is 100% cotton,

It is perfect for everything from bedspreads to curtains;
and being upholstery weight,
can be used for upholstery as well.
