Happy new year, lovelies! Things will probably be a little quiet in Prairieland for a while as we'll be taking time to regroup, clean up the yarn stash, try new designs, and take a class or two (both Sewing 101 and Knitting 101 were a total bust, but I'm willing to try again!). I'll leave you with a slideshow of some of our favorites from 2010, just in case you're still interested in ordering something (email me at prairiegoround@gmail.com if so! We are happy to put any special orders up on Etsy!). Don't forget to visit our stores, Nashville Clothing Co., Ivey, Local Honey and Sugaree's. I hope that your 2011 is filled with beauty, joy, laughter and sparkles.
The stark beauty of the prairie.
The magical extravagance of an old carousel.
Prairie*Go*Round is inspired by these extremes, finding harmony in deceptively disparate design elements. All original PrairieGR designs are made without the constraints of a pattern, showcasing striking color combinations, a touch of sparkle here and there, and antique lace and buttons. Think Alice in Wonderland with a dash of Little House on the Prairie.
These one-of-a-kind hats, armwarmers, glovelettes and scarves are available in the following Nashville-area stores in the fall and winter months:
Nashville Clothing Company (Gulch and Cool Springs locations)
Ivey (Edgehill Village location)
Local Honey (12South)
OldMadeGood (East Nashville)
Sugaree's (near MTSU campus in Murfreesboro)
If you are interested in wholesale or special orders, please contact us.
