I was browsing through
Alkemie the other day, when I came across
this picture taken from a House and Garden magazine in the 50s.
It rang a bell and sent me dashing to my linen cupboard to find a cushion cover I had made from a vintage scarf.
It was in fact an almost identical print! How amazing. I would love to know more of the story behind this pic!
Pop over to
Alkemie for lots more inspiration - like this Incredible Glass-encased Credenza by
Boca Do Lobo featured recently!

Your beautiful site has inspired me to take up my "tools" and become a "blogger" - I started 2 days ago and can confirm that I am now a "blog addict" - I have added you onto my site as a favourite cause truly you - your site is ruthlessly addictive and I don't miss a day without having a peep to see what you have "come up with" - well done - (my new addition "blog" site can be found at : beautifulallthings.blogspot.com/) - hope you still have time for coffee - I miss our times of getting together as a group of ladies on a Thursday for a good old chinwag - lots of love - Belinda D.
Now that I've seen the photo, the scarf is even more amazing - love how the colours were adapted.
You've got a good eye! What a great and serendipitous thing.
Enjoy your weekend.
I happened (and a happy happenstance that was!) upon your blog via Abbey goes Design hunting via A Cup of Jo and I love it. It is already on my Blog List over at http://www.fraiing.blogspot.com/
BTW, are your cushions available in Cape Town?
I love your blog -- please check out mine and if it is ok with you lets link.
Cheers,
