Well, spring is on it’s way! The temperatures are moderate, the snow is nearly gone, and the sound of blowers doing spring clean-up are everywhere!
Spring does not come prettily to Maine. It comes with brown rutted roads, swollen rushing streams, old leaves, dirt, and has no color. But, even at 40 degrees F. one senses the change. People start looking at their houses and yards preparing for projects in gardens, and other outside work.

March in Maine.

We have ordered new Toile de Jouy from France, and hope to have them here within the next 10 days! These are a bit different from what one normally sees in the United States. They are colored toiles- not just red on white or green on white, but two or three colors on a background tone. These are traditional patterns, but none are often seen here… very exciting! And the color combinations are to die for! Red with grey and white, gold with grey, blue, brown, and cream, and a multi-colored on deep blue, among others. We will keep you updated on them.
JUST LISTED:
A new angel toile fabric!
Not your everyday angel toile, this is gorgeous!
100% linen, it is extra-ordinary!
BLUE ANGEL TOILE

angel toile fabrics in the

I was talking to a rep today, he is down near NYC. He said it was in the ’70’s there today! He asked if we were warm… I had to laugh! 34 degrees F. with drizzle… damp, and unpleasant! Sabina from Switzerland wrote this morning that she was looking forward to rain as she wanted to go out mushrooming! Let us know what your weather is like!
