design show season is almost here and i’m so excited i feel like my entire home office is starting to vibrate from all the anticipation and excitement. next week i’ll be sharing some pre-show coverage for all of the shows taking place this month (icff, bklyn designs, surtex, the national stationery show) but today i wanted to end things with some beautiful new pieces from lotta jansdotter. lotta will be showing as part of bklyn designs next week (i’ll be there with bells on- i can’t wait!) but i wanted to share a little sneak preview of my favorites: beautiful new pillows, pencil cases and tote bags. i love all the yellow, grey/linen and purple. click here for more information on lotta jandsotter or stay tuned on may 12th for full bklyn designs coverage. i’ll see you on monday, until then, here’s a summary of this week’s highlights. have a great weekend!
