Classics to Remember




























{images: here and here}

Oh what to do when it's a rainy day and plans have changed? Seek inspiration of course!

These Liberty fabrics take me back to my childhood. My mother adored them and took me to the store every time we visited London. I was far too young to appreciate them and very anti-chintz, especially when threatened with the prospect of these fabrics being worn.

Funny how you grow up and your taste changes. I'd love to get my hands on some of these prints now, shame no one is sending any over to our local thrift shop!

I like the middle image of the shop being covered head to toe in the classic Betsy fabric last year.

  3. Anna,

    They are really pretty, I would love some throw cushions covered in those fabrics and scattered on my bed or on the sofa, they have such pretty and delicate patterns. My favourite is the one to the right of the middle row :)

    All things nice...

  5. Love the Liberty prints, honestly, I had heard of them before Target, but hadn't actually had the chance to see them in person (I know!). Now I'm totally in love!
