this is a book that I will definitely be dipping into for inspiration over the coming year.
I have always admired Emily's eye & the way she mixes up all those nostalgic treats that are with us from childhood.
I think my love of 'flea market' things came from the many hours spent traipsing round junk shops, boot fairs and the really boring 'auto-jumbles' with my Dad. It was often a sunday morning treat as 'in them days' only the 'local' village shop opened briefly in the afternoon to sell off it mouldy provisions and of course the DIY stores another passion of mine....but anyway swiftly moving on
My favourite style from the book is one that has all things floral as its main focal point
I still have no decent stash to speak of as much time has been spent trying to find these loveliest of fabrics but the have so far alluded me, maybe this will be the year of bark-cloth floral enlightenment!
As for the snow lovely as it is there are hours of thrifty finding to be had and I've not even been inside a charity shop since before christmas.....my feet are tapping, fingers twitching....

I haven't been charity shop shopping for a while either - I'm getting withdrawal symptoms!
ReplyDeleteit is a lovely book isn't it... just shows how beautiful fleamarket purchases can be and how they truly make a house a home.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures are so pretty with all the snow but i know it's probably driving everyone bonkers... we had it happen to us last year and it drove me bonkers. yarn is the only answer :)
