| Holly Holderman |
Someone once said to me "it's all downhill after
Paris", as in,"everywhere you travel to in Europe will just not be as
fabulous as Paris"...I guess that's why I rely on Paris & all things
French when I want to be inspired & fill my heart with happiness.
Paris is a city for people like me who love to walk (and take in the local color in the cafe's that are on practically every block). The Eiffel Tower, the tea shops, lovely shop windows, rose gardens (seemingly everywhere, even in secret courtyards...you'd just happen upon), flea markets (bits & scraps & inspiring treasures...), incredible buildings...beautiful doorways, multi-paned windows, parquet floors, giant doors with door knobs so big that you need two hands to open them...and oh, the spoken word, "Oo La La".

| Lakehouse Penelope 4, 5, 6 Fabrics |
Before starting LakeHouse Dry Goods I went to Paris about twice a year; we were just LakeHouse a design licensing studio back then...the pace was a little more hectic. I needed to charge my "design battery" a lot. We did everything from Christmas ornaments to popcorn tins, stationery, hatboxes, wallpapers (and seemingly anything that had a surface design on it). We showed our collections to hundreds of businesses at Surtex in May each year at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York, so designing for fabric is a relatively new thing for me. I'm getting excited about going back to Paris...oddly enough, it was my boyfriend Paton who suggested it.
"Penelope 4, 5 & 6" is for me a nostalgic extension of my lifelong love affair with Paris, I am so humbled to be able to bring you these fabrics, inspired by a place which means so much to me.
Thank you, Holly!
The newest fabric collection from Lakehouse is Penelope 4, 5, 6. These beautiful fabrics feature gorgeous florals, bright colors, and an unmistakable touch of French inspiration!
