Five winks of happy...colorways.

One fabric from Designers Guild is great.  Five different colorways are eye popping.  When looking for fabric, always check out the varied color combinations that are available.  The blue on white might not work for your project, but the white on black might be just what you need to pull it all together.

Five winks of happy...patterns.

This is a new feature that will appear every Monday.  Five winks of happy.  Five bits of goodness.  Five small pieces of visual amusement.  Use this moment to look at the work you do in a different way.  Or take the opportunity to enjoy a few nice things.
