- Is it in the trolley?
Posted in Up Close & Personal, tagged 70s, boot, car, carboot, funky, prilblumen, sale, trolley on March 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Nope but it soon may be. The car boot sale season is looming – so I felt I needed to get equipped and as I am approaching 40 I should invest in my very own older people’s version of a portmanteau – a shopping trolley. So of course I decided to scour the planet for something [...]
- A Snippet of Me

I pursue colour, detail and form in my design, I base my quest very much on aesthetic goals rather than purely technical ones. I like my designs to be expressionistic, colourful and playful, a reflection of my rather odd self at times. I should be on the sewing machine and at the cutting table today [...]

I had to share this gorgeous Jason chair with you by Jacobs & Guille for Kandya (1953). Simply stunning. An early production example of the 1953 model re design.

Another day, another knock at the door, this time with a delivery of gorgeous 50s abstract fabric, a snip on eBay, destined to be made into some clutch purses and a cushion cover or two. I will also experiment with the green space gaps and do some over printing on the edge offcuts and see where [...]

Postie arrived with this little eBay treasure this morning – just for showing off in my future kitchen display. Couldn’t resist its bright colours and funky pattern dating to the late sixties early seventies. The pattern is called Gaytime and the maker is Lord Nelson. Where would I be without eBay? And yes I know that [...]

Yet again I’ve been very busy on ebay and have taken possession this week of a lovely retro flower power tea service called Dolly Days by Hostess created by in the 70s. Unfortunately, the majority of the set arrived in bits due to poor wrapping, or lack of it, but with some negotiation on the [...]
