Congratulations to #303

in the Saffron Marigold giveaway !

#303 is Jenn over at The Loves of Jenn.

Congratulations !

Another one of my ‘Before’ and ‘After’ projects coming later today (fingers crossed) involving this special secret ingredient. 

Stay tuned !

At last, the sun is shining again here in Northern California and it is shaping up to be a beautiful weekend !  The warm sunshine brings to mind a home filled with breezy linens, the kind that flutter in the open window, or delicately grace an elegant table. 

So how fortunate that Saffron Marigold is sponsoring today’s giveaway !  Saffron Marigold is a luxury linens company that brings you one of a kind hand printed linens in the most beautiful motifs and patterns.  These luxurious linens are hand crafted with a traditional block printing technique and each is a work of art.  

Block printing begins with a planed slice of wood, then an artist free hands a design.  A block maker then chisels out the intricate pattern.  The fabric is dyed, then dried in the sun.  A color master mixes pigment dye, then the designs are hand stamped to the fabrics.  These elegant patterns are all unique and so beautiful.

Saffron Marigold is committed to fair trade practices, so you know the artisans are paid a fair wage for their work. 

This company makes exquisite shower curtains and sheer window panels . . .

. . . colorful duvets and beautiful table linens and napkins. 

Gorgeous pillow covers !

These linens would make the perfect Mother’s Day gift.  

Saffron Marigold has been featured in Better Homes & Gardens, HGTV, and the New York Times, to name a few.  Read the buzz right here.

Saffron Marigold is offering one lucky winner their choice of the following:

One 70” x 90” tablecloth, or

One 18” x 90” table runner, or

Two 17” x 17” cushion covers, or

Two pillow covers.
