I am an antique textile dealer and also make things from a variety of my textiles,usually things that are distressed and can be recycled to extend their life and enjoy their beauty or workmanship.
I buy antique quilts exstensively ,log cabin pattern is my favourite. "Paisley" shawls are another passion of mine,even the damaged ones find a good home with me! love the colours, so rich.
I have a soft spot for anything in wool, must be my Northern roots and upbringing,Blankets, sweaters, tweeds and felts , the more rustic the better.
Lizzy and I share a love of French linen and textiles and have a joint collection , " Franglais " which we source together on our travels, bedlinens , soft furnishings , sheets for curtains , the more rustic the better we like them Handwoven linens and hemps from the 19th cent. wonderful shirts and chemises.
Freidatoo has proved not only to be moody but unreliable so this time we went to a Volvo place and persuaded them to let us buy the car we had on loan...so meet Freidathree , well had to have one the roof rack would fit did'nt I ! So hope this will be a longer and happier partnership.
Happy driving in Freidathree! I still miss Bertha, my first Volvo estate!!!! See you tomorrow, lizzie x
