Nest Egg

Flock Home Linens Launches

Robin: Hey, Blue. Your nest is lookin’ fly. Where’d you score the threads?

Jay: Dig? It’s Flock Home, a new ecofriendly linen collection by Oakland designer Gina Pericini. Check the colorful, hand-printed patterns — that’s nontoxic dye — on neutral shades like mustard and oatmeal.

Robin: How did you decide motif and colors? Did you wing it?

Jay: Nah, I submitted artwork. But you can choose vintage-inspired stock illos like cattails or toadstools or sea botanicals.

Robin: Does she do only table trimmings or can she branch out?

Jay: Napkins, place mats, coasters, and tea towels. Plus larger things like pillow shams.

Robin: How’d you find out about her?

Jay: A little birdie told me.
