Lost in France

As most of my regular customers know, I mainly stock only French items, but sometimes on my travels I do spot the odd 'foreigner'. These two photos from WWII are - I believe - the original Press photos used in the propaganda war effort . They have typewritten labels in purple ink and just feel 'right' in the hand.

What the photos were doing in a pile of French photos (in a very expensive Brocante) I don't know, but I had to rescue them. I am selling them on Ebay - as a pair if possible as I don't want to split them up. If you would like to take a peek, the listing is here.

In the meantime, if you know anyone interested in WWII and in particular HMS 'INDOMITABLE' in the Far East in 1944, perhaps you might like to forward this on - I'd love them to go to a museum or association.

A few fabrics I have for sale right now...

Sorry - this floral fabric is sold
I adore this little piece of vintage fabric - it's English, and is a riot of tulips, anenomes, daffodils and I just love the colours - you can read about it here.


A lovely classical heavy cotton from Paris designer Olivier Thevenon - very French! Read more about it here. I think this would be perfect at the window, with perhaps a monogrammed linen sheet underneath...it's new and in perfect condition.


This is the grey and white version of one of my best sellers - it looks absolutely fabulous made up into lavender hearts and bags...you can buy it here - I've only got a metre left!

I only have about 3 metres left, out of over 20 metres!
This is a gorgeous, smart mattress ticking - navy always looks good. More details here in my Ebay shop - a friend made up some covers for her boys' bunk beds and very smart they look too!

sorry, this fabric is sold
This is a vintage cotton print - glorious roses on a red background - fabulous made up into cushions or to line a basket. You can get more info here.

Sorry - this fabric is sold (except for a little remnant :) - it's going to South Africa! Couldn't be a footballer's wife could it?

Lime green and purple stripes - not for the faint-hearted! This has a gorgeous chintz sheen to it, and it feels oh so silky...but looks fabulous and perfect where roses wouldn't suit eg an office or study or maybe blinds...you can the listing here. This fabric is double the width too - very good value for money, metre for metre.
