I seem to have a fascination with cherries: the blossoms, the fruit, the color, even the word cherry has so many connotations! I love contradictions, and cherries are definitely a yin and yang symbol. The fruit is red, juicy, and definitely sensuous. The blossom is pale pink, frilly, and almost virginal. I guess that makes sense, since the blossom is the “young” and the cherry is the “adult” if you consider the development. I won’t even get into the other meaning for cherry, speaking of virginal. Insert “wink wink nudge nudge” here…

I seem to have a number of cherry themed items going, including the print for the Flirtini pajamas and nightgown collection, the silkscreen image for the Cherry Heart panty and t-shirt sets, and now a new item, the Cherry Surprise print hip hugger panty which I am testing.
These are listed currently on my Etsy site, as a small test run. Click the link to check size and pricing, and let me know if you like them!

Silk and lame cropped top and sarong, Sweet Revenge.
Sometimes I do need to take a break from the things I “have” to do, and work on some things that are just for fun. Case in point is our little Arabian Nights fantasy, made from a silk sari fabric in plum and gold. Mainly, I love the fabrics. Silk feels great on the body, and I adore the richness of the plum color, the sheen of silk, and the detail that the embroidery adds to the otherwise quite simple design. I’ve used the border work to create the neckline and neckline facing, and am showing the full width of the sari in the skirt.
The skirt overlaps and hooks closed, with some pleating at the waist to shape it to a drapy fit. Both pieces are lined in a brighter silk charmeuse, for both a great feel on the skin and a little surprise for the wearer.
This is a fantasy lingerie piece, in that it is both sexy and quickly removable (ties on the bodice and one hook/eye on the sarong). Pair this with a strappy set of heels and surprise your man with a pitcher of sangria on the balcony, and well…let’s leave the rest to you.
This one of a kind piece is available in a size small. The bust size is a bit adjustable with a drawstring at the waist and ties at the back, but fits about 35″. The waist measures 29″, intended to sit at the top of the hip. This can be made to order, as well.
