New Harvest


One of my nicest customer recently came back to the shop , and asked if I could custom-make her Inspiration Apples with embroidery on them. I liked the idea so much that I also did a set of embroidered pears. They're called The Kindness Pears. Another reason I'm infatuated with them is that I think that I've succeeded in making representations of the smaller, more charming Anjou and Bartlett pear varieties, and not my regular Bosc-inspired ones.

I'm thinking of making more of these, and embroidering them with all kinds of inspirational words. What do you think? And if you'd like to suggest special words or short quotes, I'd love to hear them.

By the way, these pears are now listed in the shop.

Un de mes clients les plus sympathiques m'avait demandé de faire des pommes -- mes Inspiration Apples -- brodées à la main. J'ai tellement adoré l'idée que j'ai décidé de faire la même chose pour quelques poires. Je les appelle "Kindness Pears." Une autre raison pour laquelle je les adore, c'est je crois avoir réussi à faire des poires qui ressemblent aux plus petites variétés Anjou et Bartlett. Ca change aux Boscs qui m'inspirent régulièrement.

J'ai envie de faire plus de celles-ci, brodées avec des mots différents, intéressants, même magiques. Que pensez-vous? Et si vous avez des mots et des citations à suggérer, je vais aimer les entendre ici.

Les Kindness Pears sont dans la boutique, par ici.

Love starry's "perfect pair" idea - i love the play on words.

I think these would be great for a baby room, how about a "you" "me" and a little "baby" pear?

Or "love grows"?
