Knee patch, I love collecting. In France my rummaging in brocantes led to lots of discoveries and research into french design. It's a lovely hands on approach to research and the acquisition of a new language. #puce -flea #fouine -weasel as in rummage. Where does rummage come from! This fabric is french 50's. Most fabric buyers were looking for lin or chanvre, linen or hemp large monogramed bed sheets.
In a part of Burgundy, Autun Xavier Pauchard designed and made Tolix chairs. I lived quite near in The Morvan National Park. #japanesemending#sashiko#vintagefabric#50's
Revel Guest as a young woman. She made documentaries, helped turn Hay Festival into a major event around the world she was Chair Emiritus, guest produced Warhorse etc
I drove over the hills to Newtown today. These views were not the best but I like to remember bits of these lovely lit days. Passing, fleeting, never to be repeated days.
I.went to a sweet memorial service yesterday, in Clyro. My friend Revel Guest lived a full life. I met her in her 90s. She has inspired me these past few months. Exceptional woman.
