Paige Evens New Line - Take Me Away Sneaks

Yay for purple. It has a Memorandum vibe to me. I liked that line, so I could see myself wanting a couple of pieces of this one.

My guess is it's a shabby chic style.  I don't like the sofa or the buttons AT ALL.  But, since it has purple...I have to give it a shot!

Yes I like that sheet.  Not sure if the watercolour behind it is the back of that sheet or a separate one.  The little honeycombs are cute too.

The paper with the sweet life writing on it reminds of the recent pinkfresh studio Life paper.

ITA.

I won't bother with this one, either.

What's up with the cross stitched look, anyway?

Meh

80's grandma Hahaha!!! Thanks, now I'll always think of it that way.

I like her Fancy Free line much, much better.

Same here.

Nope!! Not even the thickers are calling my name! Which is very rare for me..

They can't print more Fancy Free...it was in the agreement they made with the artist that Paige said she was "inspired by" but they basically stole her design.  PP apologized etc etc but they are not allowed to print anymore of that collection.   It even seemed as though they shorted retailers on this line altogether because people were promised quite a bit more stock than AC/Pink Paislee delivered in the end.

Is it me or are the preview pics, kind of over exposed? They don't seem like...crisp photos. The cross stitch reminded me of my mom who has made many pieces, so I like it for that reason. I can see using an embellishment or page, not the whole collection.

I am liking it better than the Amy Tan line. Still, there were parts of that I wouldn't mind.

And yet again, pink, blues, golds, watercolor look. Sigh

I like the paperclips even though I am terrible at using them, I think because of the square shape to the ends. I don't mind the colours overall but there is not really anything that I feel the need to add to my stash.

And that couch - seriously how are people using these??

So honestly I think this collection is more authentic and true to Paige than Fancy Free. I know so many people loved Fancy Free but to me that wasn't really Paige. It was based on a bunch of things she had pinned to Pinterest and unfortunately it didn't turn out well.
It was pretty but the whole copyright thing...ugh.

Here I think Paige really used things from her life to inspire. That couch ephemera is just like that real pink couch she owns and loves. The cross stitching? Well she's into sewing on her pages and a homey feel. I see inspiration from her travels for sure. I see a lot of her in this collection and I think that's what it should be when these women are inspiring designs for a collection. So huge props to her for going in the right and authentic direction.

It may not be everyone's fave but I think she really put herself out there this time around. And the florals in this collection are fabulous to me. Will prob skip over the cross stitch things though
