tapestry and lace hankies

By Anonymous -




I have a bit of a tapestry collection - lovely old vintage finds from charity shops and trash & treasure markets. The big one on the back of my pink couch is my latest find - a beautiful recreation of 'Le champ de ble' by J.Constable. I love the fact that it is all done by hand, someone got so much pleasure out of doing it and now I can enjoy it in my home with the rest of my granny chic collection! Speaking of which my Gran sent me some beautiful hand stitched hankies and a lace collar from her collection all the way over from Cape Town (to Melbourne) for my birthday, thanks Gran, always lovely to get a special parcel in the post (no matter how old you are turning!) xox.

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
