nadia sparham: queen of cushions

i owe kristina big time for this one. she passed along a link to designer nadia sparham and now i'm in love. after a quick click over to nadia's site i found her stunning collection of playful pillows that combine all of my favorite details: silk, wool and buttons. i can't get enough silk in my system these days (i'm on the hunt for a honey colored silk top like bradley's from project runway) and nadia's cushions deftly combine colorful silk with hand sewn button, quilting, foiling and stitching details. i haven't been this taken with a series of pillows in quite some time. it's so nice to see someone working with detailing in a way that brings attention to craftsmanship and material. you can click here to see nadia's beautiful work, it's most definitely worth checking out. i think we'll be seeing a lot more (a whole lot more) of nadia over here in the states soon...enjoy! [to top it off, nadia makes some great plates and dishes, too!]
