Flower power

This is a bit of a different post as it leads me ever so slightly into the world of interiors. Yesterday I was at the Portobello Sunday market. Each day at Portobello is different. Sunday is less for the professional vintage dealer and more for the eclectic type. In fact, I did a stall there for two and a half years selling new and vintage clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. I adored it. It's a smaller market with vintage and second hand clothes stalls cheek by jowel with book sellers and brick-a-brack stalls. It was in this context that I found this beautiful guilded fabric, lined and hemmed perfectly.






Who knows what I'm going to do with it but I had to have it. The turquoise blue with the pearly coral and purple is a killer contrasting combination. I could use it as a table cloth, bed spread, or glamorous picnic blanket lol. I don't really know but what I do know is that it's gorgeous and I will find a use for it one day. Being somewhat of a hoarder of beautiful things, some useful and some definitely not, I couldn't resist it.
