As we begin this new year, I am more excited than ever about what is ahead! We have so much to share with you in the coming months. As I was deep in thought today I ran across this piece of poetry....such wisdom in these words....such hope and direction. Let's all look forward and upward to what God has in store for each of us in 2026!

Blush Sand is such a soft, feminine color!

I developed this color with the goal being a soft neutral that would be both flattering, and also serve a color to mis and match with my other Smokey Neutrals, thus helping to build a wardrobe of pieces to extend your sleepwear & loungewear wardrobe. It has been a success and the popularity continues to grow. Offered now in Waffle, Dot, Shadow Stripe, Check and Interlocks. They are all wonderful, so the choice can be difficult!!! My inspiration as always was taken from what is around me everyday, It might be some dried rose petals, a basket of vintage lace,...

Hi everyone! I have been really behind on my blog posts lately....but only because I have been working on SO MANY new introductions for Simple Pleasures! I have been taking new photos almost every day to put on the website. This is my "Photography Studio" which actually was intended as a formal dining room, but has served me especially well for photos. The afternoon sun is always perfect for highlighting our amazing fabrics. I hope you will stay in touch and check our website often for all that is new. I have SO much in store for this year and...

Isn't she lovely!

September 26, 2024

At Simple Pleasures we celebrate every day, and we especially celebrate this time of year! I love autumn and it's as if God is telling us to relax and slow down a bit while we relish the beauty around us. Change can be good and fall reminds us of that. This is the time when I do a personal inventory of all I have to be thankful for as I look back on my life and on the 34 years that Simple Pleasures has been a part of it. Little notes I have written about ideas and goals; messages from customers who have become friends; little treasures of nature that have amazed and inspired me; vintage sewing collectibles that remind me of creative masters that have come before me; and drawers of sweet little assessories and girly things that I myself have made through the years....all of these things inspire and encourage me. Thus I am sharing with you today a few ensembles that resulted from me slowing down a bit from my "normal" routine and just letting the creative juices flow. This is when I do my best work, while thanking God continually for the opportunity to do what I love most....designing, working with beautiful fabrics, and sewing to my heart's content.
