Elliott Erwitt, Third Avenue El, 1955
Spent a bit of time perusing Toast’s new home-wears yesterday. This bedding got stuck in my mind… “Cotton chambray bedlinen with cross stitch embroidery on pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers”. It’s beautiful, I’d love to see it in the bedroom at Dalton Towers. (via CROSS STITCH BEDLINEN | TOAST)
This Soft Fold Cabane is genius. It’s meant as a temporary space for the newly-moved! It includes several duvets, a lamp and a reading table. Ideal as a perfect little nest until you’re up and running. I’d have LOVED this when I moved here. As it was, I found myself sleeping and sitting on nothing but a futon mattress for the first 2 weeks!

The Mad Men excitement must be beginning to get to me. I wouldn’t normally fancy a headboard like this, but… (For reference: http://flpbd.it/EDRA)

I also went to see Arrietty this weekend with Steve. It was lovely! The animation was outstanding - as you’d expect from Miyazaki (try spelling that with an iphone).
It gets a special mention here not just for the general animation, but the visualisation of the interiors throughout. The Borrowers house was beautiful - Arrietty’s bedroom is pictured above - and the clever details kept me absorbed and delighted throughout. It reminded me a great deal of some of the ideas in the Brambly Hedge series and E H Shepard’s illustrations for Wind in the Willows. Aaaah! So cute!!

So that’s Ferm Living and new season Orla Kiely at Heals. Goddamnit I need to get down there soon!

Take a look at these beautiful storytelling quilts by the Comma Workshop. Their context quilt collection explores people, place, and narrative through the tradition of quilt-making. Each quilt in the series has a story quilted directly into it, in both white thread and a contrasting color thread. The stories evolve from the titles of the quilts and blend conversations and flowing descriptions of people and place. Elements of fantasy and wit are woven in to surprise and delight the user.
Using cues from the traditional quilting bee, which was used as a means of socializing and exchanging ideas, Comma Workshop often collaborates with writers and poets to create quilts made by ‘many hands.’
Taking the crafts of storytelling and quilting and pairing it with a modern aesthetic and palette, the context series offers a new take on a time-honored tradition.
