An extra day to blog!

Happy Leap Year everyone, there's a cute froggy image on Google today.
This is my first leap year since starting the blog so it gives me an extra day to show you something new.


This week I've had printed samples back from one of my latest Spoonflower fabric designs. It is a retro look fabric which I've created in a collage style using my old stamp collection and some antique magazines, postcards and books.
At the moment this is only available to buy on Spoonflower, it may appear in my Folksy shop at a later date.

Whilst on the subject of old magazines, here are a couple of lovely examples which were charity shop finds. I love the advertising designs inside, the typography and the illustration style.

There are some lavishly illustrated pictures inside, the colour reproduction is excellent and has remained vibrant over 50 yrs later.

Who knows, there may be another fabric design lurking in the pages of these mags!
