Love and Thanks

I was browsing through the two & from: Valentine edition this morning and came across this print from SS Print Shop. 

I really like her version of the Love print. I was hoping it comes in different colors. These are my favorites too.

Also, this week I got an email saying I've been selected by the Houzz community as winner of their 2013 "Best of Houzz' awards in Customer Satisfaction category. Thank you Houzz!
. And many thanks to Kyle of Knight Moves to mention the Raindrop Chocolate pillow on her blog. Our pillows are also available at Shopten25. Have a great weekend!

Welcome 2013!

Happy New Year! December was a roller coaster month for me.
We have to put down our beloved 12 years old lab, Jake, due to cancer. We had him since he was 8 weeks old and he was like our baby. It was the most difficult decision we ever made and I was heartbroken. He will always be loved and remembered.

On a positive note, Swanky Swell now offers pillows and we had our first flash sale event with Joss and Main on December 27. You can also purchase them at my Etsy shop.

We took a family holiday trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico and stayed at La Concha Resort. I really love the atmosphere and interiors. Our original flight got cancelled and we had to fly 2 days after. Looking back, the most important thing to me was my friends and family companionship. I don't see my family very often and I was truly blessed to spend my holiday with them.

Fabric sighting...

What a pleasant surprise as I was reading Apartment Therapy today. I saw this awesome playroom done by Jen of I Heart Organizing and saw the throw pillows made from SS Daydream fabric! What a lovely space. I can't wait to see the rest!

Moorish and Bloom through Spoonflower

Great news! We've decided to make our digital collection, Bloom and Moorish, available for purchase through Spoonflower.

Here you can choose the type of fabrics you wish, from a quilt to upholstery weight. They are available on all kind of cotton as well, from canvas to organic knit and sateen. Email me if you need a different layout. For example, these are Bloom in mirror and half-drop repeat, respectively, in 1 yard. They don't have a yellowish background by the way, not sure why on the screen view it's showing that.

These are Moorish in half-drop and basic repeat.

Any questions or helps in placing the order, just email me at info@swankyswell.com. Enjoy!
