This is how Stephanie showed how she thought we should design the pattern for “A Leap Beyond Reason.” Hopefully the final pattern will have the charm of this little sketch. #sketch #designdevelopment #patterndesign #surfacepatterndesigner #watercolor #watercolorsketch #artistcollaboration https://www.instagram.com/p/BukiyJFFlfY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qgklsgzuyehs

Are these coasters necessary? Will they help you to become a better person in any way? No? Yes? It’s hard to say. We hope they are nothing if not entertaining, and if not that, will save your furniture from water stains and scratches. #novelty #noveltygifts #romancenovel #badart #princessdoraldina #drinkcoasters #drinkcoasterset #uniquegifts https://www.instagram.com/p/Buhq8d9F0K8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g1ae8qq8in0x

Fantastic outfit on the beautiful Silvia Dionisio as Marianne in Archer of Fire, a 1971 Italian Robin Hood movie.

Happy birthday to Errol Flynn, the ultimate swashbuckler. Here he is as Captain Blood along with his gorgeous co-star Olivia de Havilland, who were both unknown at the time and went on to star in 7 or maybe 8 films together, but Captain Blood is one of the best. We recommend both the movie and the book! . . . . #errolflynn #swashbuckler #classicmovies #captainblood #oliviadehavilland #rafaelsabatini #athiefandapirate #pirateromance

“She Gave Him a Locket” and he carried it in a secret pocket in his breeches through trials of courage and daring. . . #noveltyprint #mintgreen #surfacepatterndesign #pirateromance #locket #patternlife #artstagram #sweet #adorable #quirkyfashion

“They call him the Raven, the most feared pirate to sail the Atlantic, his black cloak swirling about him like the dark mystery that hides his identity.” And no, we didn’t write that, but that sure is right up Princess Doraldina’s alley. This is a must read. . . . #romancenovel #pirateromance #beachreads #beachread #vintageromance #escapefromreality

This would be a marvelous conversation starter in your home. Imagine answering questions like, “What the...” and “Why the...” with this spectacular piece in your living room.

Howard Pyle painted vivid stories of our favorite subjects, like this bad boy of a pirate. . . . #rogue #piratelove #howardpyle #illustration #redcape #inspirationiseverywhere #treasurechest #lifeofhighadventure #doraldina #highseas

Sometimes our designs are inspired by the simplest things, like these pink and white stripes. Pirates knee breeches illustrated in a 19th century print were a simple red and white stripe. We tweaked the color to represent the passion and spirit of a dauntless pirate lady. . . #pinkandwhitestripes #dauntless #throwpillow #rectangularpillow #colorofpassion #pirateromance #beachhousedecor #homeaccessories #sofacandy #orderinline @society6 by #doraldina #linkinbio #stripedpillow

It’s new, it’s different, it’s legal! We spent much of our youth and money on pinball games like this one. Hampton Beach Boardwalk in NH was our Mecca and where we met our muse; Princess Doraldina.. . . #mechanicalarcademuseum #hamptonbeach #pennyarcade #wastedyouth #boardwalk #yellowandbrown #boardwalk #earlyinfluences #doraldina

We’re so thrilled to see #leapbeyondreason printed on fabric! There is nothing quite like the feeling when you see a simple watercolor sketch turn into an actual printed textile. . . #printedtextiles #surfacepatterndesign #pirateromance✨ #redheads #conchshells #pillowfabric #supersweet #whimsicalart #beachhousedecor #interiordesign #coupleinlove #piratesinlove #doraldina
