NEW! Pattern Book by Orla Kiely

I was thrilled when I opened a box today to find the new Pattern book by Orla Kiely inside. It's big, beautiful, loaded with color and right up my alley!

It's a beautiful (huge!) book and quite lovely for Orla fans because it contains her life story, inspirations, full pages of her colorful illustrations, home products, collections, and more. I was really excited (and surprised) to see my blog in the book where Orla wrote a very nice piece about bloggers showing a selection of them that featured her products in the past. I am so honored!

If you love Orla then you have to pick up a copy of this coffee table book -- it's such eye candy and interesting as well, I liked learning about her childhood and educational background, how she got into the industry, what inspires her collections and so many other bits I'd never known before.

In the book, Orla says a few encouraging words about blogs that I'd like to share since I agree with her words, "As a creative forum where images can be gathered, designed and posted, blogs are an endless source of amazement and inspiration to me. Immediate and instantly accessible, they serve as a platform on which anyone and everyone can express their likes and dislikes, share their interests and passions and interact with the world."

She also mentions that seeing her work on blogs is a compliment and thrill and that she is inspired by blogger's and what we do.

Her final thought is quite lovely, "It's a powerful medium where directness and honesty override all else. Genuine and endlessly creative, the blogger's voice is loud and clear."

Amen! :)
