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.
I have been off on another haberdashery run and these and many more lovely old knitting patterns were the result of a trip round the countryside yesterday. I am asking £1 each for them . see you at St Mary's Hall for The Bridport Rag Market or Pamphill for Vintage in the Village Hall on Monday 29th of November
Those look fab Linda. I am hoping to pop in to the fair in Bridport tomorrow.. weather permitting. If I don't get there & you still have the patterns, please could you bring them on Monday! xx
Oooh, are you going to be at Pamphill? Lovely! I'm hoping to go as a buyer/visitor. Hope Bridport is good tomorrow. Shall miss it - always enjoy it, but can't be helped.
wish you lots of luck for Saturday, and look forward to seeing you at the Village Hall on Monday!
