The elegance and sense of relaxed luxury of a Parisian salon is evoked in this London townhouse. A simple low relief surround frames a plain hearth; real flickering flames are wittily echoed in the papier-mache sun medallion above.
The Fireplace, 1994

🍦minty check linen sundress🍦
Hello sewing friends! I had a good day hunting at the thrift shops yesterday and came home with a nice mint linen tablecloth, which then became a nice mint sundress :)
Made from thrifted fabric and buttons, repurposed zip. Self drafted sundress bodice with a 3/4 circle skirt.
Styled with all thrifted items (because cheapie by name means cheapie by nature 🐦)
I'm in love with that vintage straw hat 💖

Absolutely adore the new information I just learned that there is archeological evidence of dyed flax fibers presumed to be from a [linen-like fabric] dating back as far as 32,000 years at Dzudzuana Cave in what is now modern day Georgia

Ralph Lauren
Fall/Winter 1982-1983
NOSTALGIA 1. A wistful or sentimental yearning for a return to or the return of some real or romanticized period of the past: For his autumn/winter 1982–83 collection, Ralph Lauren referenced American folk art and crafts. Nineteenth-century needlework samplers, which often featured the letters of the alphabet and the motif of the home, inspired the design of this hand-knit sweater. Lauren’s use of antique patchwork quilts to construct the accompanying skirt reflects his appreciation for handwork. Speaking to a journalist in 1982 Lauren said, "Folk art, for me, represents the integrity that is America."
