A Retro Celebration

I have just passed my 150th blog post!
About 150 posts ago, I said that I found orange a surprising colour! Well, I have some more orange-ness to share with you!

These cushion covers:
Are backed with a shweshwe type print!
This cushion cover:
Is made from a retro tapestry and orange satin-backed crepe!
They are in my etsy shop - along with some found "brand new" seventies cookware! In fact - put your sunglasses on and have a look at my whole new "Retro" Section in my etsy shop!

hmmm... although your stuff is great Im not an orange fan ... I got rid of lots of orange flowery crockery that was handed down to me. In my garden I can throw in some orange because they get diluted out ... I prefer the white look much better, have you been to Osiers? Congrats on 150 posts ;)

Hello!! Just found you on Kari & Kijsa's and thought we'd stop and say hi. What a charming blog! Congrats on #150 - that is exciting! By the way orange is one of my favorite colors. Not many people use it - so it's a great way to set yourself appart!

Congrats! Yay!

I always thought that I didn't like orange, but now, all of a sudden it's one of the best colors. Lovely rusty orange together with dark brown... I still can't imagine wearing anything orange, but that's a whole another story :)

Be well!
