Showing them the ropes.

New all cotton rope scarves have a nautical look, and a soft suede like feel. Great with a white T-shirt and jeans.

Embracing the blizzard blues.

For some twisted reason, and impending storm excites me. Stoke the fire, put on a pot of stew, open a bottle of red wine, light some candles and I'm ready! I had hours to plan, and time to spare, so a quick vat of indigo was started. Silks and fine linens were twisted and tied, dipped and dyed. Hung to dry, or rather freeze dry, while the the storm named Nemo made it's presence known. Flakes were falling while the indigo set, and then the frozen sheets of scarves and sarongs were brought in to thaw and be laundered. Another great day to dye.

Hot cookin' before the big storm.

There will be no "white out" here at Vagabond's Daughter studio. These hot colors came out of a steaming caldron, ready to be transformed into sarongs, beach totes and spring scarves. Linen and silk, logwood and quebracho red.

Harbor Island style.

Sky blues, conch shell pinks, sunset purples and driftwood greys. All perfect for the Bahamian beach attire necessary for a week in Harbor Island. The girls were stylin'! And Tim was, too.

Happy Home.

This duvet set found a happy home in a converted middle school turned condo in NYC's Harlem.

The family of three that has claimed it says it super cozy and perfect for jumping up and down on, and watching "The Lorax" under. Enjoy.

Marmalade duvet. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

How sweet would it be to sleep with this marmalade and cocoa colored duvet cover and pillow cases. Unbleached Irish linen naturally dyed with pomegranate, weld, cutch, madder extracts and iron. Many layers of color and many dips went into making this custom duvet set. Another example of how indigo accents work almost everywhere.
Thanks, Tim Geaney, for the great pictures.

Rest your weary head here.

As much fun as the holidays can be, they are a lot of work! Long, cold winter days are ahead of us. Forget bottles of champagne, eggnog and cheese logs. Rather, curl up by the fire with one of these silk velvet pillows and a good book . I can think of nothing more indulgent, yet healing for body and soul. Dyed with all natural plant extracts, naturally.
