Breaking Ground { PURE Beach Dream Home, post #1 }

I've mentioned this before in my post "My dream... { boardwalks, beaches, biking }", we purchased a lot in Windmark Beach about 6 years ago for a vacation/retirement home .  This development is located in a little town call Port St. Joe on the panhandle of Florida - it is a very small ocean side town, which we love.  I'm so excited to share this news - we have FINALLY broke ground!!!  During the next 6 months I will be sharing the progress and interior design planning of our "PURE" Beach Dream Home.  We are on a tight budget, and I'm trying to be as eco-friendly as possible - it will be a challenge, but I am up for it!!! Here are the drawing and photos of the development, as well as Port St. Joe.  I can't wait to share more!!

PURE Elements Collection

Just released - PURE Elements Collection!!  This collection of organic cotton canvas consists of some of my favorite patterns and colors.  It is different than my PURE Bliss and PURE Kick Collections because it is printed with low-impact reactive dye, which allows for deeper, richer, color, as well as, better wear and washability.  I'm so excited to share it with you!!

Swatches anyone?

Sneak Peek { PURE Elements Collection }

Here is a sneak peek of my PURE Elements Collection!  There are a bunch more color combinations, which I will reveal later.  This new collection is not printed yet, but it will be in a month or so.  I'm so excited because the PURE Elements Collection will be printed with reactive dyes, which means:

• Color is rich and deep
• NO fading when machine washed
• Can be used on heavy use upholstery

I will have more exciting news to share in the coming weeks - I have a feeling that this will be the best year yet!!

Happy Holidays!

Evolution of PURE...

My new PURE online Shop is evolving with a new home page and the addition of a few accent chairs and wool rug photos.  I'm working on marketing with Pure PR, Inc. (got to love the name) to help me get media exposure and increase sales.  It is a tough time for business, but I'm so excited and passionate about my eco-friendly products - sometimes I can hardly contain myself!  I've poured so much energy, research, and creativity into my PURE line - it is a true extension of me!

"Please help me by sharing my online store with everyone who may be interested. Thank you!"

Launching an affordable online store!!

Since I started designing fabrics and rugs, I've been dreaming of creating an affordable line, which I could offer through an online store.  Well, here it is!!  Over the last few weeks I have been designing my new online store, which currently features my new Summer patterns by the yard, flat weave wool rugs, and sample pillows.  I will be adding photography for the rugs as soon as I receive the samples.  Also I will be adding pillows, placemats, shower curtains...  Great thing is I can still offer CUSTOM colors for a small upcharge!

Let me know what you think - I would LOVE feedback and suggestions!!
