Handmade in my studio......

 This mood board is so "me!"  From the dainty perfume bottles, to the vintage fashions, to the luscious feminine sleepwear.....I love it all!  And "handmade" is a reflection of the quality that you will find in everything that I make, and in all that I collect.  There is an appreciation for the work of artisan hands that permeates every fiber of my being!  God placed in me that passion many years ago and it was further cemented there by the precious women who influenced me as I grew from a little girl with nimble fingers and a tiny thimble, to...

Have tea with me.............

    One of my fondest memories as a business owner is having had my own tearoom as a part of my lovely shop.  The Shoppe for Simple Pleasures and Scarlett's Tea Parlor offered all versions of the tea service......from a cup of freshly brewed custom-blended tea and a scone to full Afternoon Tea which was a complete meal. This was my opportunity to personally meet and greet my customers, and often sit and visit with them.  We enjoyed sharing stories of our common interests, personal experiences, and family traditions. Afternoon tea is historically an English tradition.  Dating back to...

Why choose Simple Pleasures Night & Day?

Practical, comfortable, AND feminine.......that is what Simple Pleasures is all about. From its inception over 30 years ago, I have held true to my original concept.  I wanted to offer to other ladies elegant 100% cotton sleepwear & lounge wear.....styled in such a way as to be worn around the clock in the comfort of home and family.  Always made in the USA from American-grown cotton......and always will be. Pictured below:  "Gloria" from the TinaEvaRenee Signature Collection and our classic Long Sleeve Bed Jacket from the DOT Collection.

MY BOUDOIR CAP PLEASE!

I have been researching the history of the boudoir cap, and I am fascinated by these adorable little accessories that were essential to the proper ladies' nighttime and early morning wardrobe. I have found countless examples of these fancy little caps, and four of my favorites are pictured below....the ribbon work, the delicate laces, the silks and satin.....I am amazed just thinking of the time that was devoted to making one of these precious adornments! For lots more examples visit my Pinterest board "Boudoir Caps". https://www.pinterest.com/simplepleasuressleepwear  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoudoirCap A boudoir cap is a form of lingerie nightcap that was popular in the nineteenth...
