New Curtain

While we where staying in Shropshire last month we picked up a large piece of vintage curtain fabric, although it was a nice long piece it wasn't terrible wide, it also had a join in the fabric which has been done in large loose zigzag stitch. The whole thing it was a slightly odd size to shift but luckily for us we have tall narrow windows so we managed to get the whole length for £15.

We're not totally sure of the age of the fabric, the lady who sold it to us didn't know, I reckon for the design it probably 60s/70s. Its is biscuity brown colours (making me thing 70s!) in the most lovely tree patterns (please forgive the following pics, its very hard to photograph curtain in a south facing window!)...

I need to adjust the hem at the bottom as its a bit too long, I love how soft and subtle the colours are on this, it goes really well with the Ercol sofa and chairs. If anyone recogises this design or has any idea of the age please give me a shout, Im always interested to know!

We've been so busy the last few weeks so sorry for the lack of posts, we really haven't been doing much but working, we have gone to a few carboots but they are starting to wined down for the year now. I did however manage to score a bargain on sunday...

Leather Oxgen slip-ons for £1!! I almost fell over when the nice lady selling them told me the price. I don't normally do clothing posts but lets just say its not only all our furniture that comes from juke and charity shop and car boot sales!

More posts soon!
