Dreaming of a far away land

We’re dreaming of traveling to exotic lands… taking the train, navigating by sea, maps we still get lost with, wandering the streets in a city we can’t speak the language of, and ordering cappuccino senza spuma with just the right amount of difficulty.

We have some wonderful new additions to our children’s ranges from Harlequin, Unique Fabrics, and Jane Churchill for Atelier Textiles. These give a bright pop and a sparkle of life when paired with solid colour or textured fabrics such as the smooth velvets by James Dunlop.

Velvet Revolution

We had a wonderful afternoon hosting Velvet Revolution last Friday.

Velvet was first introduced to Baghdad during the rule of Harun al-Rashid by Kashmiri merchants. Traditionally made from silk and associated with nobility, in 1399, King Richard II of England directed in his will that his body should be clothed in velveto.
Velvet is a type of woven tufted fabric in which cut threads create a short dense pile, giving it a distinctive feel. The word ‘velvety’ is used as an adjective to mean “smooth like velvet.”

William Morris

He’s definitely the ‘ man of the moment ‘ …with a comeback happening right now in fashion, and growing demand in Japan.
