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.
you all know by now that I love chickens ! Nick and Ticky have expanded their flock and because Ticky could not make her mind up they had two of each. I love the speckled ones !! I adore the noises they make when you feed them, the original four have sorted out the pecking order (sorry could not resist that one !) and peace reigns however they are a bit young , so a lot of chickens and no eggs yet.
Chewy is a very, very handsome chap!
