1st Dibs

Just wanted to let everyone in on some exciting news (well, at least I think it's exciting). disegno Karina Gentinetta is now on 1st dibs. If you don't see one of the items you loved in my Etsy shop, it's probably because it is now on 1st dibs. Getting on 1st dibs was one of my goals (next to going back up to Serro Lopez and this time SEEING the snow) and I think I stalked the 1st dibs people so much that they finally let me in. I feel like I've joined some elite group! No worries, I'm still the same old self.

And I should mention -- I've been thinking about this and I tell you, I've been so upset about everyone who has expressed how much they love my pieces and hope to one day be able to afford them. Listen, there is nothing that pleases me more to hear how much you love the same things I do. Each and every one of my pieces is hand selected and upcycled by me. I try really hard to stay within the really affordable range but, by the time I buy a piece, restore it, paint it (to where it mimics it's original paint or style), choose the right fabric for it and upholster it, it takes a lot of investment not to mention love and commitment. Still, it has always been my aim and dream to make these beautiful things available to anyone and everyone who appreciates their beauty. So please know, that if there is any piece that you truly adore, I will be happy to work with a payment plan or layaway. I rather my pieces go to people who will appreciate them for their beauty and keep them and pass them along to the next generation.

Well, I've got to run out to pick up my children from school. Talk to all of you soon.

My newest treasures (completely restored and reupholstered in a simple organic muslin) available on 1st dibs.
