petite violette

Hello dear Pantry Violets!

Just a few recent pics from Petite Violette! Not much making going on I have to say - so funny that before we opened I imagined lovely hours whiled away in the shop stitching handmade bits and bobs to sell! There's always something to do, a little corner to re-arrange, customers to chat with, products to photograph, website to update...

I do have a little creative outlet once or twice a month at our Petite Violette stitching nights, inspired by Les Soeurs Anglaises and all of you lovely ladies. The time I've spent stitching and chatting at Briançon was so wonderful that I wanted to re-create at least a tiny fraction of that magic at Petite Violette. The stitching nights are so much fun and incredibly inspiring and it's just so fantastic to find so many friendly, warm, creative, like-minded souls to join us. Wish you could all come along!!!!!

  2. wow... it looks so beautiful, Sam. What inspiration! The muted colors are lovely and make me wish that I used those colors more in my own creations. Maybe I will give it a try....

  5. Dear Jone, Thanks for your lovely kind words! Funny how we are creatures of habit when it comes to the colours we like to use. Just saw that your course at LSA is fully booked - that is fantastic news, congratulations! You must be so excited! Hugs, Sam

  6. Oh I remember that manically busy household - one of the most fun, welcoming families I've ever had the pleasure to visit, even amid all the chaos :) Wish you could pop over too, can't you justify a Swedish sales trip?
