New from Gumps, these darling Chinoiserie magnets based on vintage Chinoiserie textiles and gorgeous Chinoiserie table linens, quite like de Gournay for the table, all quite well priced and fabulous to boot!
love the linens. one of my dearest friends grew up in hong kong. when i got married, she gave me a set of dishes her family had from that time, and they would match the magnets perfectly. mine have an orange koi motif, and the tiny teacups have an orange chinoiserie motif. loves them!
I adore Gumps (and your blogs!) and I too thought these were plates. And then paperweights. And then I read the description - magnets works too! Fantastic colors. I have to admit I wouldn't have guessed all of those patterns were Chinoiserie. Love them.
I grew up in Europe and Lake Forest, Illinois. After graduating from The Ferry Hall School, Bryn Mawr College, and George Washington University Law School, I practiced law in Washington, D.C. Now I am finally devoting my time to two of my great passions - interior design and Chinoiserie.

How lucky you are Kitty! Those magnets ARE pretty cool. I like small, unexpected details.
These are fantastic- particularly the magnets. I'm unfamiliar with Gump's, but on my way to visit!
