The work of Patty of CalviRee has been making me smile ever since she joined us over on cosa verde a few weeks ago. What perfect fun combinations of color and texture to tote around and welcome the warmer weather...
Patty works in waxed canvas, choosing a canvas that has been finished in an environmentally-friendly and non-toxic way, and embellishes her line with found and vintage fabrics. Waxed canvas is long-lasting and weather resistant, and develops a softness and patina with age, much like leather, and I personally am enjoying the combination of its neutral tone with the bright and lovely plaids and stripes above.

Oh, I love these! What great colors and textures!
