Step in Style

I first saw Charlotte Liddle's work at the Sewing for Pleasure show at the Birmingham NEC. Charlotte embroiders and appliques leather ballet pumps to create unique works of art.

Pretty Prints

Martha of "Q is for Quilter" documents the scraps of vintage fabric she finds before she uses them in her quilts. Her blog is a fantastic source of inspiration for print design and graphics. The wonderful unique and retro feel of these fabrics makes me thoroughly jealous of Martha's fabric collection!

Vintage Fabric Hotwater Bottle

I adore these vintage style fabric hot water bottles available for Caravan, on Redchurch St, London. Great idea for how to use up a favourite piece of vintage fabric that you're been keeping waiting for a spark of inspiration.

Pretty Paper Boats

I first saw these at Maison & Objet in Paris and have just seen that they are also available from Selvedge dry goods. Designed by Jurianne Matter they look beautiful hanging on stings or decorating a table setting.

Shakespeare's Bookshop in Paris

Three previous trips to Paris and I still hadn't taken a look at the wonderful gem that is Shakespeare's bookshop, until now! I adored the message wall and the writer's cupboard- unique! www.shakespeareandcompany.com
