  • Poppy Cotton Home Accessories

    Poppycotton_thumb

    HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE All of us know someone whose taste we envy, and for me that friend is New York designer Melissa Cotton Womack. When she told me she was launching Poppy Cotton, I could hardly wait to see her ideas unfold. True to form, her line of home accessories–fashioned from vintage textiles–is unlike anything else out there. The colorful pillows, lamp shades, and wall hangings really make a room pop. If you have someone on your list who’s so unique that you never know what to get her, get her a gift certificate, and let her pick a little bit of happy for herself.
