Anna Griffin Cecile
Are you yearning for spring as much as I am?  While the dainty crocus and ranunculus do their best to add a little color to our still-snowy landscape, let’s add some gentle color to our layout.  Anna Griffin’s new pastel Cecile and Calisto collections soften the transition into spring with flocked florals and shapely diecuts that allow us to pretend we’re in the sun room, at least.  We’ll make our own flowers, shades of a sun umbrella, and a couple flirty ruffles just to keep in practice.
