I couldn'tresist showing you these two fabrics. Part of our booty from our latest trip to France. The first one is a fabulous printed linen circa 1920. Arts and Crafts we think. We have four large pieces of this. Enough to make a loose cover for an armchair. The second photograph below shows another treasure. A hand block printed Indienne in a soft linen. Dates I reckon from the beginning of the 19th century. We have a lot of this.!! Enough to make sumptious curtains . Both these fabrics will be going with Linda and I to Ardingly Antiques and Collectors Fair in a couple of weeks' time.
We can't wait and have planned how our displays will look already. These two fabrics came from a Normandy chateau clearance. We have many more lovely things from this place including beautiful napkins embroidered with red coronets!!

I love the top fabric most of all. Wish I was going to Ardingly,good luck when you are there,and I hope its not freezing cold.
Never mind. I would rather be in France!!!! We had lots of rain last time so wasn't too cold. Hope it is drier this time for our precious textiles.
Beautiful especially the Indienne.

Sorry I can't be at Ardingly to see these fabrics. I had some similar to the linen at the top years ago and it drapes so beautifully. Hope you do well.
