Nothing shouts summer like the texture of rattan, wicker, seagrass
or for that matter natural wovens of any kind. Whatever that object may be, a
straw hat, a rattan chair, a woven tote or a wicker chaise - it is always
fresh, crisp and ever so graphically textural. These things forever evoke
memories of long summer days and sultry summer nights. I hope you all are planning
to spend a long, languid weekend at the beach, on the lake or wasting the
day away in a hammock on a mountain porch sipping a summery cocktail in a warm
breeze for this 4th of July weekend!
"Summer afternoon—summer
afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the
English language."
Henry James
