Pink Chinoiserie for Valentine's Day

Chinoiserie Monkey with Parasol Hooked Wool Pillow

 

With Valentine's Day this weekend, I am in a pink chinoiserie mood (outside of Christmas, I am not a red fan). I'll take pink roses over red any day of the week. Here are some darling pink chinoiserie picks -

Cabbage Ware for Spring

Dillard's Southern Living Cabbage Ware

Cabbage ware, also called lettuce ware, is highly collectible and has been for decades. Tory Burch has a wonderful collection she did in collaboration with Dodie Thayer's estate. Dodie was an American artisan and entrepreneur and her story is remarkable. Her ancestors helped settle Palm Beach where she taught herself how to mold pottery from lettuce and cabbage leaves.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My wine dinner I hosted on Friday was lots of fun. And I enjoyed watching the Olympics and the Super Bowl last night - Lady Gaga was a nice surprise. And I really enjoyed figure skater Ilia Malinin who is from Fairfax, Virginia. I lived in Belle Haven for twenty years which is in Fairfax County.

Super Bowl & Olympics

Have fun if you will be enjoying the Super Bowl and the Olympics today. I am guessing the Seattle Seahawks will win although I have no skin in the game.
