Hello.

I’m Nancy Enloe and I make hand-printed home goods in friendly Raleigh NC.

My art is inspired by nature found in urban areas and the beauty of everyday plants in backyards. I particularly love the different varieties of oak trees in our “city of oaks.” You will find oak leaves and acorns in many of my printed fabrics.

Each hand-crafted product is designed, drawn, block-carved, and printed to order on washable natural fibers.

Made slowly. Made well.

About My Tea Towels
Soft, absorbent, sturdy, fresh, and a hanging loop. My tea towels will brighten your kitchen and they make a thoughtful gift any time of the year. I print on 100% unbleached (natural) cotton fabric. I love the natural look of the unbleached fabric and they wash and wear very well.

About My Everyday Napkins
Until recently, I printed my napkins on 100% organic cotton and sized at 13” square. I’m still using organic unbleached cotton but am transitioning to a larger 19” square. This size is more flexible — can be used as a napkin, a small towel, and perfect tucked into a bread basket or wrapping food gifts for friends. The fabric is prewashed, preshrunk, and gets a little softer with every washing. I’ve been using and washing these napkins for years and am pleased with how the ink settles into the fabric with very little fading.

About My Table Runners
Most of my runners are printed on a single thickness of fabric with a mitered hem for a lightweight and polished look. The fabrics are all 100% cotton or linen. I’m partial to the look and quality of linen, but sometimes medium-weight cotton muslin or osnaburg cotton have just the right color and texture for a particular design and colorway. (Osnaburg is an old fashioned, sturdy, long-lasting fabric with a nice light drape — it’s the material a lot of reenactment costumes are made of.) All my runners are washable (cold water is best) and can take a low-heat drying cycle. The fabric gets softer with use, yet the colors hold up well. I think they look good freshly ironed, but I’m definitely not a stickler for pressed linens — I like the soft, pebbly, rustic look just as well.

My full-size runners are roughly 14 inches wide and range from 66-74 inches in length. Be sure and check out the mini-runners — typically about 12 inches wide and 36 inches long. They are very versatile and can really boost a tablescape. I also frequently print custom runners to suit individual preferences.

About My Note Cards
My note cards feature original artwork, blank on the inside, and have a brief message on the back side. These cards suit most occasions. I’m happy to also mix designs in an 8-pack by request.
