A truckload of loveliness arrived yesterday afternoon. The new Amusement Park collection and Sunflower & Stripes collection from Jessica Jones! I love them all! In the Amusement Park collection, she used a light beige background, which on the canvas, gives it a very linen look that is so rich looking. And the colors are awesome, without being too overpowering. Fun, fun, fun.
The Sunflower and Stripes is printed on unbleached canvas, meaning it has those little dark flecks of cotton seeds on them. So cool and natural. And the Sunflower design makes me smile every time I see it... fun without being silly. And of course, how could you go wrong with an awning stripe?
So I had to whip up a little jumper for you know who. She's probably too young to appreciate the design aesthetic, but some day she'll understand that she had the very first item made from Jessica Jones's Boardwalk fabric. Doesn't it look great with her crocs, Jessica? (Jessica declared Crocs the ugliest shoes ever, by the way, but I think she gave a pass to wearers under 12.)
Oh, and I made Jessica write up a comment about each print so you can get some insight into her design psyche. So be sure to read the fabric description because she will tell you how the design came about and I might even add a comment or two myself!
And most importantly, use coupon code ORANGE through October 15 and you'll get 20% off all of Jessica's fabrics. Go forth and purchase!
It's GREAT, isn't it? So bright and fun! Your designer sure does a terrific job! :-)
The little jumper on your adorable model is so cute, too! I can imagine Courtney in one of those for sure!
And gotta love the Crocs - ha!
I hope you sell tons of the fabric and have to reorder soon! Good luck!!

Love the little jumper -- it would be great for my grand-daughter. What is the pattern? I could use the pattern and some cute fabric. cmc

that dress is just about the cutest thing ever!

Although the dress is absolutely darling (but the little one wearing it is even cuter) those crocs just make the outfit complete. More gorgeous fabrics from Jessica.
