The Iconic Tiger

3/31/2022

0 Comments

 
Who doesn't love a tiger?  The iconic Scalamandre Tigre silk, first introduced by Franco Scalamandre in the early 60's, is still going  strong in both modern and traditional interior design.  First woven in Italy, and now being manufactured in the USA.  But the beauty of the silk velvet can't touch the real deal!  These beautiful creatures can be seen at The Carolina Tiger Rescue in Pittsboro, NC.  ​https://carolinatigerrescue.org/

Innovative design, heirloom quality, and natural fibers.  Everything I look for in a spring road trip.  And everything at the Oriole Mill is designed, woven, cut and sewn all right in Henderson, NC.  Mill tours are given most Fridays at 1 pm.  Space is limited, so RSVP to [email protected].  
​For more information click on the link: The Oriole Mill

That's a really big spool of yarn!

Everyone needs a fringe bucket.

The find.  And of course I had to purchase a tote from the retail store!

Dreaming of ways to create with these selvage outcasts.

The best part of the trip was waking up to the sounds of birds and the sights of snowball trees at the Senter B&B in Asheville.  And spending time with Family.

Who says winter is the only time for snowballs?

Sweet sweet summer is slowly slipping away … and will end with the annual ferry over to Ocracoke Island … but I'll take a look back before welcoming autumn.

Antiquing in Italy with The Antiques Diva & Co

As soon as Barton (best friend, photographer and muse) ordered cheap airline tickets and a copy of Rick Steve’s guide to Italy, I contacted The Antiques Diva & Co. You see, since hearing Toma Clark Haines speak at High Point Furniture Market Fall 2014, I knew I was destined for a fabric reconnaissance with one of her guides.  Enthralled with Rick Steves’ “Europe through the Back Door” travel style,  I was convinced that seeing the marketplaces that the creatives and makers move through would carbonate my experience in Italy, and I needed a guide.  Toma connected me with antiques diva guide 
Susan Pennington  …
