Our interest in fabrics and design was delightfully stimulated by the unexpected visit to our decorating shop of an itinerant saleslady– from whom years ago we bought our annual boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. Now she was dragging huge, battered old suitcases packed with bits and pieces of home furnishings and clothing, thoughtfully sought out by her on her frequent trips through New England. From her marvelous collection we bought a variety of tasteful and refined fabric fragments and carefully set them aside. The bulging suitcase visits continued for some years and then, just as they began, they ceased - unannounced.
As our interest in fabrics and designs
continued to develop, we began our own searches-here, in England,
and in France. In time we realized we had accumulated a
considerable number of very attractive fabric samples, carefully
set aside, and taking up more and more room. So what were we
to do?
So we decided in 1987 that what we were to do would be to produce our own line of fabrics, while continuing to build our archives.
There you have the gentle history of our
fabric business.
