I believe that Basic Grey has out done themselves this time. Four new yummy collections, for CHA Summer 2008, that just may be the best yet. I can't help but detect a bit of Amy Butler-ness in a few of the designs, which can only be a good thing. Here is sampling of each. Although, they aren't yet available, you can still view the complete collections at Basic Grey's website.

Due out early August:

and due out October:



and, as if we needed anything more, they are introducing a line of fabric, distributed by Moda.
It's due out October, and called Urban Courture. You can view it here.

Every year, at this time, it's the same thing. I'm walking away from the checkout counter at the grocery store, and I spot them. Cadbury Eggs. Then the excitement hits, and I wonder how many days they've been available and I've missed out. I grab a few, and head back in line. I'm not missing out on these yummies, today. It's really bizarre because these delicious confections don't even cross my mind the other 11 months out of the year. How can I love something so much, yet forget they even exist until Easter time comes around again? I shouldn't complain. I have enough vices I rely on as it is, without needing to crave these eggs all year long, that are only around at Easter.

These suckers are delicious but messy. The wrapper is usually coated in goo, so they are impossible to open without getting sticky fingers. It's a small price to pay for those 3 bites of heaven. When I was a kid, I'd always get a 3 pack (they didn't have 4 packs yet) in my Easter basket. I'd try to make them last and enjoy them a day at a time. Fat chance. They were usually gone before I even checked what else Mr. Bunny left me. Thankfully my sisters weren't fans of the eggs. I always traded them for all my Recees Peanut Butter Cups. (Yuck, don't like peanut butter.) You'd think my mom would catch on, and give us the candy we actually liked. But she was too concerned with making sure all our baskets were equal and fair. She didn't want to seem like she played favorites. Oh moms!

You'd think by now, that another candy company would catch on and make their version of the Cadbury Egg. Maybe a cream filled chocolate star or something that would work ALL YEAR! I'd be a lifelong customer.
