About Me

My photo
Linda
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.

    Franglaise in France ( a slice of heaven )


    We had a lovely trip on Thursday starting with a fabulous breakfast in the Restaurant on the ferry which is sheer luxury and much better value than the self service ! We had had very little sleep and an early start so that set us up for the day as we sailed out of Portsmouth.
    It was a quiet calm crossing and we were soon on the road south. As we got into the journey the sky was brightening and by the time we were through Domfront (which I have an affection for it is a magnificent fortified hill town ) it was a lovely evening.
    We arrived well before dark which I was grateful for, so we had time to say hello to the chickens and horses and big hugs all round as it was November that I made my last visit and Ticky and Nick are so welcoming and lovely I feel I have just come home.
    They have great plans for their lake and hope to be open for fishing in the near future, and believe me it is a heavenly spot to spend some time.so keep your eye on our Blogs for more info
