ANNOUNCING…THE BUON NATALE COLLECTION

Well hello everyone… its fabric introduction time around here this week. And while that does not mean that the fabric is coming soon [this fabric will be in stores next May, 2025], it does mean that it is our time to introduce its existence to you! So here goes the official intro today… if you follow along for the next week or so, we will slowly introduce and give lots of into on all of the coordinating goodies that go with the collection as well.

IT’S THAT MAGICAL TIME OF YEAR [well maybe its not yet right now, but pretend that it is and transport yourself for a minute]… time to watch the snow fall, lights twinkle, and to take in the sights and sounds of the holidays. For this BUON NATALE collection, I was inspired by vintage European postcards, Italian paper crafts and antique wrapping papers.

I had the privilege to wander around the Tuscan region of Italy last year while my middle son was on an exchange program for a quarter. The sights and sounds absolutely captivated me and I discovered the most beautiful Christmas folk crafts that were the beginnings of my inspiration for this group.

Buon Natale, which means Merry Christmas in Italian, is meant to transport you to another quieter more wondrous time when gift giving was handmade, and the art of Christmas was about the wonder of it all. Coming to shops May 2025!

Based on my favorite tones of reds, tan and creams, I have added some deeper tones of green to create the feel of a magical Fig Tree Christmas. I cannot wait to share all of the wonderful projects we will be making and crafting with the special village print and the vintage cards!
