| Romantic
Persuasions
Probably
no word evokes more varied responses than “romance”,
and it has as many interpretations as aficionados. But one
thing all romantics agree on is that the senses must come
into play, the emotions must be stirred, a sense of fantasy
and an appreciation for the beauty of the world and the
things in it, are essential ingredients to the experience.

Lightly
scattered with small, pristine white seashells, this
soft,44" wide, white line fabric has a wonderful "drape"
to it. We see it on windows, or perhaps canopying
and enclosing a four poster bed! Other romantic shell
and botanical fabrics are available by clicking on
Shell
Fabrics and Other
Organic Textiles. |
Proof
that the universe is not a random collection of
chemical reactions, the incredible 5-7" Chamber
Nautilus has to be one of Nature's most exquisite
works of art. We also have these amazing shells
available in the "Tiger" variety, and also sliced,
so that the intricate spiral structure is visible.

We
have featured these in another collection, (Palms
in Paradise) but they are so wonderful, and such a
personal favorite of ours, that we just had to have
them here also, because they also have an incredibly
romantic side to them, if you use them that way. Try
these in a room where you can either swag them overhead,
or maybe hang a cluster of them in a corner - all
you need is a recording of Glen Miller to complete
the mood! (And yes, Art and I really do have three
strings of these overhead in our living room!) |
This
is it! The ultimate in the romantic bed! I mean,
can't you just see this with fluffy pillows piled
high, and a gossamer-like shell fabric draped
and knotted across the top? Or maybe you prefer
a Jute Nautical Net swagged across the top, and
interesting baubles dangling down. Made entirely
of bamboo, with "fan" head and foot board, and
four tall poster uprights, supporting connecting
pieces that enable you to do any type of canopy
that catches your imagination. This is our African
Queen size, it is also available in an African
King, both are special order items and require
approximately 90-120 days to order - so plan ahead!
the bamboo beds work with a standard Hollywood
bed frame. They require some assembly and needless
to say, are too big for UPS, so will be shipped
by truck. Call for shipping quote.

King Bamboo Bed - -84881- - - $1095.00

Our natural abaca is woven with a gold metallic
thread that still leaves you with a very natural looking
textile, but with just a bit of extra "zing". This
is lovely to use instead of curtains, where privacy
is not an issue, or try bunching it across the top
of a window instead of a valance. We have used abaca
on just about everything, from walls to package wrapping,
and everything in-between. We think you will love
working with this wonderful and versatile textile.
We produce abaca in both ribbon and wrap widths, in
twenty-two different solid colors, twenty-two silver
"sparkle" colors, six gold "sparkle" colors and nine
"ombre" combinations.

When
you want to add a touch of gilding, our Pure Gold
Lemon Leaves are just the thing! Real salal leaves
on their natural stems have been dried, then gold
gilded. Use these in floral arrangements, add
them to potpourri, tuck one in a handmade greeting
card, use them in collage or montage creations,
or just scatter some on a table top to add a bit
of glamour!

Well, it sort of makesyou of think of a bordello,
but then again, it has a wonderful beachy look, so,
there you are! This is a very rich and elegant looking
tassel, with thick white mopping cascading out of
a perfect spiral shell. Use two or three of these
at a window, or near French doors to add a look of
romance and opulence. |
This
is the most incredible paper. Actually made with
a high content of textile fibers, including silk,
it is a light, airy and "almost not there", 23"
x 30" paper. We love using this on a variety of
different things, but one of our most romantic
uses is to "frost" windows with it. The papers
will provide a bit of privacy, still allow plenty
of light, and most important, impart a delightful,
soft look to both the window and the light coming
in it. Be sure to check out ourrs
for all the thirty-one colors.

This
highly flexible tin garland has eight hearts scattered
along its 36" wire. We love this twisted through
a wreath or floral arrangement, wound around a
picture frame, meandering across a fireplace mantle,
used as a substitute for ribbon on a package,
to tie back curtains, . . . . . . And don't forget
to see all the other designs at.
