Octavia

Octavia has joined me in my shop today - She is dressed in a beautiful French rose printed cotton skirt and has a pretty peachy-pink mohair jacket.

A vintage handmade lace collar finishes off her outfit with old fashioned charm.

Vintage Florals

I had been waiting for over a week for a new delivery of feather pads for my handmade cushions - Thankfully they were worth the wait as they are particularly plump and puffy this time!

I've made two pairs of cushions with this wonderful pink floral Barkcloth...

I've used C19th French linen for their reverse.

A c1950's fabric printed with lilac sprays, unusually in pastel pink and yellow!

There's also a patchwork cushion made from an assortment of hard wearing linens.

The reverse.

Some of my other creations include a small brooch pillow for a dressing table.

And a summery bag fashioned from more flowery vintage goodness!

T Bags!

That's hand bags as a summer accessory to floral tea dresses...not the dunking variety!
