The stitch is back
The other day I was surfing through the truly great home design blog More Ways to Waste Time, came across this post on Latin American textiles, and completely lost my mind. OH MY GOD. I love the bold pillows, playful plates, pretty shawls, but especially these hand-embroidered Otomi throws (which I found on eBay for a little less money) like I've maybe never loved any household decor items before. The blankets are bright and fun but also classic-feeling, and I'm crazy about the fact that they're made by women using an intricate, centuries-old technique. It gives them an awesome, I'll-pass-this-down-to-my-grandkids vibe. You could easily use them in a nursery, over a couch, in the guest room—anywhere really that you want to give a full blast of color.
