Seventies inspired fabric and wallpaper

Vihkiruusu / Maalairuusu tea towels

. . . . from Marimekko

Lavaliers, Retrospective Papers Collection from Little Greene

This wallpaper is one of my favourites so very fresh, retro and bold it would look great on a feature wall, I like the table with drawers in the middle picture as well.


Ooti in Emerald fabric by Sanderson

Beautiful colour reminds me of tie dying and comes in a range of other bold colours including a vibrant orange.

Orla Kiely's Rhododendron wallpaper

Very bright and cheerful mustard colour, I really think the simplicity of this pattern is gorgeous.

Polaroid obsession

Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid... Why have I become so obsessed with these instant cameras? They are a clumsy squarish design, gaudy and produce faded off colour pics that cost a fortune, so why? Who knows.. I had borrowed a Polaroid 1000 from college to draw and photograph but sadly had to give it back on Tuesday, since then I have been hunting for a replacement on ebay. Luckily, my incredibly thoughtful sis found one (a 600) in the Isle of Man for me, I am so excited to meet it I can hardly wait! Obsessed? Noooo not me. 

This photo was taken one freezing sub zero morning at the gorgeous Alnmouth beach. I got the orange funky bag from a vintage fair and I love the combination of retro colours used here - very Orla Kiely.
