Mary Catherine by Amy Smart for Riley Blake Designs
The Mary Catherine fabric collection is inspired by the vintage childhoods of my mom, Cathy, and my mother-in-law, Rosemary. Born just months apart on opposite coasts of the U.S.—one in Maine, the other in California—their parallel stories shaped the heart of this work. The designs pay homage to the charm of a 1950s childhood, with some prints even drawn from the curtains in Rosemary’s childhood bedroom. I also loved collaborating once again with my sister, Laura, who painted the watercolor bows. I hope this collection stirs memories of your own vintage nostalgia. ~Amy
