| MARCHING TOWARD SPRING |

Can we talk about something? Can we talk about those poopy head ninny muggins that are circulating the vicious rumor that “Blue & White” is on it’s way OUT?!?!? Yep.. its true, apparently the fad-watching design gurus are convinced that the Blue & White Chinoiserie “trend” is kaput.
 Well lemme tell ya something… just my POV here friends. They can suck it. Unicorns? Yep… trend. When was the last time you saw a 300 year old Unicorn statue at Christies? I’m gonna bet never. Shag carpet? Yep, trend… thank GOD… I think that the last time you saw someone elect to install this in their home David Cassidy was probably the dreamboat of the decade, not Justin Beiber. So there.
 
Blue and White? Chinoiserie? A TREND? Um, no. Has it experienced a sudden burst of popularity? Absolutely.  Maybe a what old is new, and if Blue & White Chinoiserie means “KLASS” then it must be “cool” kind of situation. But let’s be honest, this shit has been around for centuries for a reason. ‘Cause its AWESOME. Plain and simple. It is classic. It goes with friggin’ just about EVERYTHING, and it is easy to design any space around. Does this outgoing trend mean that we will see less of it at Home Goods? Probably. But whatever, there is no shortage of ways to source something that has been a staple for generations.
While the trend report will no doubt leave some new adapters by the roadside in exchange for the next hottest “must have” I will still be over here at Witzend doing what I have always done.. admiring my collection… moving it around, using it whenever I can and showcasing it any chance I get. OH, and I am going to pair it with Pink. And Green. And Black. And Orange and any color that makes my heart sing.
So buckle up my dears… you will never see a shortage of ginger jars, Blue Willow, dragons, Koi, funky little trees and WHATEVER… I mean what’s next… no more Fiddle leaf Fig trees!? I mean REALLY…. who are THEY kidding!?
Go ahead kiddos… parade your Blue and White. Wear your style on your sleeve. Feel all sorts of sparkly inside knowing that you were ahead of the trend and will be a dying breed of good taste and impeccable design style. Oh, and then pass that stuff down to the next generation because in a cycle or two when it is “back” like leg warmers or scrunchies your progeny will their lucky stars that you didn’t listen to those silly nay sayers.
XO,
Pippa

I CANNOT believe that it’s almost Memorial Day! Literally flabbergasted! But none the less, the pre-summer glory is here, the honors will be given, the band will march, the flags will fly and we will unofficially kick off the last few weeks of school madness and the anticipation of the warmth ahead! #goforthandcelebrate
The PEONIES are coming! The PEONIES ARE COMING!!!! My peeps out west are seeing snow BUT I’m seeing buds about to burst! If you can’t tell… I’m just a ‘lil bit excited!
A week of rain, a slightly excessive delivery of wood chips (in stories) and earthquakes- nothing can ‘eclipse’ my Friday yo (see what I did there?)…I’m crankin’ a @pitbull heavy playlist and am ready to make the most of the onset of spring my peeps!
True Story… on Tuesday my grocery cashier gave me the Senior Discount… I sh*t you not my friends… I mean… I know it’s been a long week and all but I definitely DO NOT feel like I am toeing the line of the 60 cusp… with that said- I only thought for a hot second about turning it down so at least I got a 5% discount out of the traumatic experience. Hope you all are ready for a HOPPY EASTER! 🌸
