Shades of Autumn and Cosy Quilts for Chilly Nights...


Autumn is well and truly upon us - and what a beautiful Autumn it is so far! The early misty mornings make way for sun-filled days here in the UK, and it is a pleasure to to see the changing of the seasons. The fabric above is one of my favourites, a vintage Sanderson linen and very appropriate for the time of year, with its rich shades of Autumnal colours.


The nights have a definite chill to them and so our thoughts have turned to cosying up in front of the fire and layering the beds with vintage and antique quilts and linen. Here is a selection of delightfully pretty quilts which have been added to the shop today and in recent times. We've kept the tone light and feminine, yet warm and snuggly!

Sublime beauty in the form of soft raspberry paisleys...

Delicate roses on eiderdowns...

Pretty rosebuds and polka dots on this charming powder blue eiderdown...

Faded pinks and paisleys pattern this snuggly quilt..

...the subtle detail is delightful...

...sweet dreams are guaranteed!

Roses and pink stripes add a fresh element to your decor...

...whilst ensuring a cosy, restful night.

If you prefer something a little brighter, then this eiderdown will add a splash of colour with its striking palette.

We hope you enjoy the photos and a browse in the shop when you have time. Since our last post, when we hosted The Big Event, we have been at our busiest ever and would like to thank everyone for their custom and kind words. These are busy times for everyone and we really do appreciate the lovely messages we receive from you all. Have a wonderful weekend and we'll be back soon with more vintage delights!
