I am UmberDove.

And by that, I mean an artist.  One who hears stories in the wind, who paints because it is what her soul tells her to do, who smiths because the muse moves through her fingertips, who loves nothing more than the promise of an unexplored trail, the sound of the ocean in her ears, and scent of a serious cup of coffee.

Now I promised I wouldn't leave you without a little eye candy before I left for the salt waters of Tomales Bay and the chai at the Bovine Bakery, so here I am to deliver!

Now.
These next three pieces are new delectables for me: Filled to the brim with organic buckwheat hulls and a hearty helping of organic lavender grown right here on my little stretch of the California coast, they weigh in with a satisfying heft and rustling that holds a bit of ocean magic.  In short, they smell like heaven.  Heaven in Provence with a sheer linen skirt and a broad brimmed hat and the scent of purple heady in the air.  Breath deep.  Then breath again.

Everyone will be listed in the textile shop this afternoon!
After lunch that is.
As I'm dressed so fine in my new scarflace and matching sunny earings, BC just offered up a sushi date!  I'm a weak woman when it comes to the spicy tuna so I'm tugging on my Wellies and will be back shortly.
Ciao Bellas e Bellos!
I'm off to get my miso on!


~ P.S. ~
As a business side note, I DO accept reserves on any and all pieces I feature on my blog EXCEPT those expressly labeled "no reserves."  It's a first come-email, first served-reserved situation around here, so don't be shy if you know a bit of textile love belongs to you!  Drop me an Etsy Convo right here... 

Care for a Tour?

While the truth is, magic happens all over this house (blink, plink, tada!), it occurred to me that you might be tossing and turning in bed late at night wondering "where o' where does that textile goodness come from?"  I know I've been doing some tossing, but I think that may be due to the medical minipause my 30 year old system is currently undergoing.  And if you've not loss any sleep over it whatsoever, well, that's probably in your best interest BUT I thought I might give you a peek into this little corner of my life [which also moonlights as our guest bedroom should you come for dinner and feel a bit tipsy afterwards].
