Gail at Andover Fabrics knows how to tease. She sent me this introduction to Andover’s new line by Renee Nanneman and I totally love it. While you are looking around at Andover, check out Elizabeth House’s line called Lizzy Dish. Lizzy and Cheri House are a couple of my favorite designers. You can keep up with them here.
