Gorgeous 1940s cotton rayons & crepes on website







I know I have already posted today but I forgot to tell you about these lovely vintage fabrics I put on the website today. They are super soft and light as a feather cotton rayons from the 1940s - the top two are crepes and the bottom is a plain weave. All bolts are more than 2.5m, too - so there's lots of fabric still left on them!

1949 instructions on interior accessories

1940s interior accessories

This is a very cute little piece of how to harmonise your interior - if you were in 1949. I don't think much has changed at all - lots of modernist lines, lots of same accessories (the rest of the article features shelving, bibelots and plants) and very similar personal statements. Cute little illustrations, too :)

The sweetness of vintage fabric

One of my oldest and dearest friends became a father for the first time yesterday. The arrival of little peeps never fails to touch my heart - it brings back the anticipation and pure joy of the arrival of our two boys. Welcome, sweet Keziah.

I have popped some new arrivals on the website today. Two are standouts for me - mainly due to their sweetness! The fabric above is an old light flannel featuring koalas and a sleeping baby. The one below is a super rare atomic dog print, vintage late 40s. Both are super special in their own little ways :)
