Greg LeFever’s Cabinet. Memories of The Purple Pear →. My Fourth Year Anniversary. April 29, 2015. This was the first time that I had a chance to meet THE Annie Sloan. What an incredible experience that was for me! I loved this piece of furniture and it sold immediately after I had painted it. The color was a mixture of three parts Aubusson Blue to one part of Antibes Green. It was a beautiful jewel tone color, still one of my favorites. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Would you like to go to Paris? Chinoiserie and a Custom Chalk Paint Pink →. Fashion Refashion and the Art of Embellishment. April 7, 2014. My passion and enthusiasm for antique textiles and trims has always coincided with a desire to find creative ways to use and enjoy them. I especially love fragments of fabric that are tattered and worn. Each piece has a unique story to tell. Taking small pieces of history and handiwork and interweaving them into a wearable work of art is a most satisfying endeavor.

A Passion for Mariano Fortuny. October 25, 2015. My obsession with Fortuny all started years ago in the early nineties when I was working for a milliner in San Diego, California. She had a degree in theatre arts, but was able to adapt her skills to various media. My introduction to her and her expertise in design and fine, detailed sewing initiated an interest in other fashion designers who were featured in. I highly recommend buying some books or checking a few out of your local library and reading abou...

Memories of The Purple Pear. A Passion for Mariano Fortuny →. May 4, 2015. I have also been astounded by the generosity of my neighbors who gave me this cabinet to paint early on and I had the best time sharing the project one summer with my darling granddaughter, Sarah. One of the most exciting events during my years in business was the birth of my youngest grandchild, a beautiful baby boy, Cade, who joined his family, older brother, Lincoln and my youngest daughter, Jeanette and her husband Ben. You ar...
