Pickpocket Thursday

We were quite delighted to find this 'I AM 6' badge on a wildly colourful poncho from the 1970s.

We like to think it belonged to a child who looked something like this....

And imagined a future that is something like this....

These futuristic illustrations of a predicted 2076 world were drawn by children in 1976. You can read the article here. Until next week, Pickers of Pockets!

A Garden of Vintage Florals

If you love to press a fresh rose to your nostrils, tuck a wild flower behind your ear or tiptoe through the tulips, you'll love these vintage floral fabrics! The beauty of plants, flowers and gardens has inspired us for years; from the Rococo, to the Nouveau, to the Flower Power, to our current trends in ecologically sustainable design. If you want to be one with nature, or just wish to hide the view of the supermarket outside your window, then add a little garden (in 2-D form) to your home with some wild floral curtains, a tea-towel or a throw rug from our Ebay store: FLOWERS!

Shades of Lilac

Beautiful shades of lilac really caught our eye this week, and we just had to show you all these wonderful examples! Dating from the 60s and 70s, they share a similar shade, but all have a style that's completely their own. They're a really great choice for spring!
