I love surface pattern, fabric, wallpaper,old letters, hand painted things. I especially love the combination of a pattern mixed with writing. I love texture and patina and layering.
Old shop signs are a particular favourite. I love the clever texturing and layering that people can do with photographs now.

I could go on, but I think that's maybe enough for today. A warm welcome to all my new followers, glad to have you . Thanks to all who take the time to drop in and leave me a little note, it makes my day when you do. Love Linda x
Beautiful images... I love, especially, your stripey cushions, and the terraced houses print. Terraces of houses appeal to me, especially when you get the same basic house and then see how differently people look after them, decorate them, change them. But then the uniformity of the Belfast terrace appeals to a particular side of me... probably the control freak side!
ReplyDeleteNo No please go on, its not enough!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all your images today, what a treat.
I do love your painted ticking cushions, they are brilliant - and your 'handpainted walls - you are so talented!
The old fashioned floral wallpapers are lovely, and tose pink painted pegs!! Too good to use though.
Really enjoyed this post, thankyou

Linda, the proper name for milkmaids is cardamine pratensis (yeah we all know that one!)but is also known as cuckoo flower or ladys smock depending on where you live - i grew up in Kent knowing it as milkmaid which I think is lovely!!They range from a lovely pale lilac to pale pink to white, and have been around a few centuries as they are referred to by Shakespeare. Sorry if thats TMI!!! A lot of it Ive only just learnt myself (good old google)!!! Btw google images is confusing as it shows many other flowers aswell as milkmaids, but under lady's smock you see the true pics!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it IS a montana! Yay!!! Thanks for that!
