The Sketch Book — leontine linens

Happy April from Leontine Linens. This blog should be re-titled the "Leontine Linens Official Fan Page" as it seems like half my posts are about them.As I mentioned in a previous post, when I first spoke to Jane Scott, the company's founder, she offered to help me design monogrammed linens of my own and I forlornly told her I wasn't ready yet for my "official" bedding.I mean, whats the point of getting your maiden name monogrammed on your bed when you've spent the past five years doodling a certain someone's last name with your own on scrap paper?Well, that certain someone...

White and soft minty blues and greens for spring time at Leontine Linens. This would be the perfect sanctuary to curl up in with a good book on a day like today. NYC is experiencing a very strange snowstorm, it's the weather equivalent of a treadmill. It's been snowing and snowing like crazy all day and yet the ground is still black in most places.Oh, and on the off chance you're in the Bahamas on Monday (why wouldn't you be? Let's all go!) you should go check out the Leontine Linens trunk show. Doesn't that sound like the best monday ever?...

Here's my newest illustration for Leontine Linens landing page. Wouldn't this be a perfect bedroom to sleep in, with visions of sugarplums dancing through your head?

Table is set, tomorrow we feast! If you listen closely you can almost hear the silver clinking together in linen closets across the country tonight as everyone prepares.This is an illustration I created for Leontine Linens, one of my very favorite destinations for admiring monogrammed loveliness. A table set with Leontine would be indeed something to be thankful for.Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow to you and yours!
