I will be selling my beloved textiles, quilts, French linens and a number of decorative items for the home that I have collected over the years on my many trips to France. <div>I have to say that aside from this wonderful Brocante fair it cannot go unnoticed that the venue is absolutely stunning. </div><div>With Peacocks wandering around you feet, to an open air theatre and beautiful buildings surrounded by equally beautiful gardens the venue alone is worth the visit but with so many wonderful stall holders selling all kinds of Borcante I can't wait to explore it all again ....

I seem to like the colour lemon as much as I like pink, and looking about my home there is actually quite a lot of it.<br>
I love lemon against florals, especially roses.<br>

I bought a lovely soft fluffy wool shawl from Laura Ashley this spring to keep on the end of the bed for cuddling up in and it fits in beautifully with my collection of quilts.<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I collect a few things, Quilts being number one, closely followed by dolls ( but that's another post).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The trouble is how to store the collections, I have to be careful of sunlight.</div>

Many are housed in a dresser.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I freshen up my hand stitched quilts by washing in the machine on 30 or 40 degrees, and add softener which holds the fresh smell beautifully. Giving them a spring clean also lifts the quilting up so that you can really see the patterns in all their glory. English Durhams, or North Country Quilts wash very well, I have to be careful with my Welsh Quilts as they tend to be made with wool filling and if washed on too high a setting the wool will felt and pucker and ruin your quilting, with wool fibres coming through the fabric, I wash Welsh quilts on a 30 degrees wool wash.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">On a lovely sunny breezy day my quilts dry in no time on the washing line. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This quit below is a French Boutis quilt, the fabric is quite grainy, a heavy cotton, compared to the high cotton silky content in Engilsh and Welsh quilts, but equally as beautiful.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Eiderdowns are feather filled and a lot more care is needed when washing. Firstly I would check out for any repairs especially looking for holes in the corners. I wash them at 40 degrees and use the tumble dryer to ensure that the entire quilt and feathers are dry, to really get a great effect I would put 3 tennis balls in the tumble dryer to ensure an even and plump quilt.</span></div>

Well I love lots of area's of my home but not at the same time, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">I'm</span> really fickle about it. The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">minute</span> I have made something look lovely then move on to the next area the previous area has been taken over by the lovable gang and is in shambles. </div>
<div>
But I suppose the bedroom might be the most tranquil place most of the time.</div>

But the minute I need to look for something and time is limited the whole room is turned upside down again, with the bed piled high with half the wardrobe, and anything else that got in the way.

Then there is the lounge, well once I have plopped up all the cushions
and arranged the throw pillows just so it can be a lovely place to sit, but then in come my lovable gang and through themselves amongst them.

Years ago I read in Victoria magazine (remember that one) about how to make seasonal changes in the home . Well one of the biggest changes to our lounge at this time of year is when I swap the slipcovers over.<br />
<br />
I love the deep red in the winter with all the metallic candlesticks and votives and a roaring fire it is lovely and cosy.<br />

I love this shade of pink, I completely adore the outfit and yet I wear very little pink, preferring black and grey and leather which make me feel cosy, strong and confident with a sense of direction. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Colours have an effect on us, pink brings out the delicate side in me, I like to have touches of it around my home albeit a vase of flowers, textiles, quilts, or paint and wallpaper ... But not too much of it and it has to be pale vintage pink. :-)</div>

This is what I have found on the subject of pink</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div style="margin-top: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong>PINK.</strong><br />Positive: Physical tranquillity, nurture, warmth, femininity, love, sexuality, survival of the species.<br />Negative: Inhibition, emotional claustrophobia, emasculation, physical weakness.</span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Being a tint of red, pink also affects us physically, but it soothes, rather than stimulates. (Interestingly, red is the only colour that has an entirely separate name for its tints. Tints of blue, green, yellow, etc. are simply called light blue, light greenetc.) Pink is a powerful colour, psychologically. It represents the feminine principle, and survival of the species; it is nurturing and physically soothing. Too much pink is physically draining and can be somewhat emasculating.</span></div>

Situated at the very end of the Thames estuary as it opens up to the sea it was an ideal spot to take in the sea air, the Victorians loved the place and would head off out of the grime of London in their best outfits, corsets, pantaloons, huge skirts and hats and take in the seaside. They might venture in for a paddle too, and for many years families would head off for this annual getaway with great anticipation and thoroughly enjoy themselves. The trend continued long into the 50's and 60's and am sure my father spent a few much enjoyed holidays in Southend when he was a lad.</span></div>

I've been wanting to create a doll for a long while now using vintage fabrics, maybe creating her in a papier mache construction, we will see. So today it begins, I feel inspired, not sure how she will turn out but I need to make samples and samples and samples. This incredible work in this video will serve to be of great inspiration to me .

I loved creating this lampshade this year by hanging lustre glass from old chandeliers around the edges and coating the frame with german glass glitter, to finish I draped some beaded lights around the edge, it looks so pretty on the marble cupboard. I also found some lovely little twinkle trees this year and they sit beautifully with the little fairy that I bought from the same lady last year ( Betty and Violet - online shop selling handmade and vintage) <br />

Where fashion trends change and move on I am always amazed to find that old linen and lace and living the vintage is alive and kicking and still trending with a lot younger crowd now. Over 15 years ago I was doing the fairs in London and surrounding counties. I loved old linen, lace, quilts anything in the textile line.<br />

My children looked down on my collections and could not understand the term Vintage or Shabby as anything could be regarded as Chic. But now they are bandering around the word vintage like its only just arrived on the circuit .... Darlings your behind the times .... now I feel old .... my own email has had vintage in the name for more years than I like to even imagine. I am so glad we are all on the same page now. I love vintage ! even the name evokes excitement and its nothing to do with wine.<br />
<br />
PS. I also love the word Vintique ... I guess my vintage is now just that.<br />

The following pictures in this post were taken in August this year at the Country Brocante in Wisborough Green, near Petworth, West Sussux. For many many years I always found the best fairs to be around Bath, Somerset, and Wiltshire area's but was so pleased to have found this group of happy sellars right on my doorstep.<br />

This stall is called Hesta Nesta ( I think) - one of my favs along with Betty and Violet. <br />

I'm sorry I don't have more info on these stalls, it was such a success that we could hardly move around the venue, and it was difficult to get the names of them all. Love Lane Vintage ( on facebook) run these fairs and there will be a lovely Brocante at Petworth House, West Sussex coming this Christmas, which they say will have a lot more room to manoeuvre.

I am taking part in The Chichester Arts Trail - 3rd 4th and 5th and the 10th and 11th of May. <br />
Artists all around the Chichester area in west sussex, a very pretty part of the countryside on the South Downs of England will be opening up there private studio's and workspaces for you to peruse their work for sale and see the journey they have made with their art. Full details are here <span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://www.chichesterarttrail.org/">www.chichesterarttrail.org</a></span><br />
<br />
A taster of all the artists can be seen at the preview art exhibition at the Oxmarket
Arts Centre, St Andrews Court, Chichester until April 27th. <br />

It is quite a shock to look back on my work and see that it has been a long time since I created anything of any note. Things happen and I had turned away from my art. But this year a good friend threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to get back to the board and join her and exhibit on an Arts Trail.<br />
She is an award winning artist who favours nude compositions, she creates fabulous work. So I was honoured to be asked. <br />
<br />
I am naturally nervous about all of this. There will be a varied selection of artists on the trail, painters, sculptors, jewellery makers and Mixed media. I am more of an ethereal mixed media artist, I
am mostly inspired by artists like Klimt, and Monet, historical themes, the
Renaissance / pre raphaelite but I also love nature and the seasons.<br />
I plan to show the journey I have made with my art from my beginnings in creative embroidery with my textile art, like this seascape worked in hand dyed velvets and silks, plastics and metal and then fresco style practicing with felts and papers.<br />

I will also be displaying a fabulous themed journal I created alongside fellow bloggers whom I joined forces with on blog back in 2007 / 08.<br />
<br />
The piece at the top of this post was inspired by Spring and worked with threads, antique fabrics and embellishemnts, metals and melted plastics.<br />
The title 'arise your tangles sweet spring' depicts the dead dark tangled lost roots of winter and the rising of fresh new colour and growth that comes with spring, new birth, new hope of greater things to follow that come with the the magnificent strength of the full technicolour of summer.<br />
<br /> I hope that my journey will inspire other creative minds to have a go at art and see where it takes them. <br />

Though I made sure that we stopped for lunch at my fav restaurant called " The First Floor" , don't be put off by the lovely setting, you can turn up ladened with shopping and big coats and will be given a lovely welcome, it costs about the same as any of the busy cafe's and restaurants all along the Portbello road, but if you want to calm down and get away from the bustle, and enjoy the setting of candle light and romance I suggest you take a look see.</div>

Just thought I should say a thank you to everyone that still comes to this blog. Its amazing you do.<br />
<br />
I have not posted in such a long time. I am currently getting into the Christmas festive season and have even got back to the sewing machine and some crafts. I want to make a stocking this christmas for a friend and thought I would base the stocking on one I made 5 years ago, you can see it in my November 2007 post ( see the side bar). I cannot believe it was 5 years ago ... thats terrible, only seems like yesterday. I also want to recreate this banner above, both the banner and stocking were given away to complete strangers in a swap. I used to do that sort of thing all the time, spend hours on them and make them just beautiful and then promise myself I would make the same thing for myself. Well I never did. So this year I am going to do this banner and a stocking. You can see my cute vintage flower fairy made by Niki of Nostalgia, see her in my favs list ( she is one of my all time fav blogger and doll makers, I have quite a few of her masterpieces ).<br />
<br />
I'll get on and create and get back to you shortly .... and thats a promise. x Ginny Gibson http://www.blogger.com/profile/11707747547529716823noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4974731630916833829.post-31433629322853201602011-04-12T14:47:00.005+01:002011-06-15T22:26:02.419+01:00Wedding Fever<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgseswlKDf2HYsS6PylQKDhWGtPz-41MNVBsq9Nj5Qhcz-WNuTAv1mGcQMRn-_aM_RRVMujVuiDb4EmA5JpztvaDOaRhtMireCQxbTEGdFI3S4yL1UY1DFaL70Fwbu_qGBTAhP9GEAK8dI/s1600/temperley-london-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7jowtAcVMIJ0CM6alZBAD0ZcMuk0m9CLsByQ_0ND6QnTXw8UQBQdfiZcY3UGt5BxNLiN3QJ14dq-O7mL0CvdcC_75x3OYuf5zmw1T3iVP-8v03AUW_sqZLgzY49nBOCxCx8SEqFWJDs/s640/long+twinkle+dress+by+alice+tempelay.jpg" width="424" /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Dress by Alice Temperly named "The long Twinkle Dress"</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br />

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time to still be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.<br />
<br />
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time … and remember that time waits for no one…<br />
<br />
So stop waiting<br />
until you finish school,<br />
until you go back to school,<br />
until you lose ten pounds,<br />
until you gain ten pounds,<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">until you have kids,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">until your kids leave the house,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">until you start work,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">until you retire,<br />
until you get married,</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">until you get divorced,</div>until Friday night,<br />
until Sunday morning,<br />
until you get a new car or home,<br />
until your car or home is paid off,<br />
until spring,<br />
until summer,<br />
until fall,<br />
until winter,<br />
until you are off welfare,<br />
until the first or fifteenth,<br />
until your song comes on,<br />
until you've had a drink,<br />
until you've sobered up,<br />
until you die,<br />
until you are born again<br />
to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…<br />
<br />
<br />
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.<br />

Everything that is vintage in the world was happening right here and now. Where ???? <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfEnZIRIHI/AAAAAAAAEP8/14X7ichbib4/s1600-h/goodwood3.jpg"><img alt="goodwood" border="0" height="390" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfEpNbDoLI/AAAAAAAAEQA/QTlZ616KkxM/goodwood_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="goodwood" width="441" /></a><br />
Well not far from here in the beautiful South downs of England, a stones through from the historical Roman city of Chichester there lies a country estate of great beauty, and on this estate lives a typical English Gent. We might call him an entrepreneur or just a plain clever chap, to the locals he is just called Lord March. You know the type, makes things happen kind of guy, knows the right people etc. The mastermind behind the internationally acclaimed Goodwood Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival, (of all classic cars and planes) and proprietor of one of the largest organic farms in the south of England.<br />
Well this summer Lord March, together with designers Gerardine and Wayne Hemingway created a Festival like no other,celebrating 5 decades of the best of British culture from the 1940's to 1980's to include Music, Fashion, Dance, Entertainment, Food and transport. <br />
So come on lets go back in time - <br />
Hop on the bus for a ride back in time to a place called Vintage Goodwood. <br />

We caught the bus from the station ON TIME .. oh i remember going to school on one of these , (amazing, they have never been on time … not back in my day anyway ;-) ….. This lovely old vintage Bus came from the Stratford Blue Fleet.<br />
We were encouraged to dress up vintage style and the girls chose a 40’s flavour<br />

The company Cloth kits has re- launched - i loved making clothes for my children from there fabric/pattern kits, glad to see they are back on the market with some trendy styles - <br />
Along the way was the Torch Club a war time style Night club with a dance floor and stage and live bands like the Miller band. The Tea Dance was popular, including swing, jive and ballroom dancing, and dance lessons for the uninitiated, also variety of vintage performances from stand up comedy to Burlesque. <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGFKu4u6I/AAAAAAAAESM/l2D9xocFen8/s1600-h/burlesque6.jpg"><img alt="burlesque" border="0" height="367" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGGzl4YiI/AAAAAAAAESU/gC6ByTbGHlo/burlesque_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="burlesque" width="434" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGIf86SjI/AAAAAAAAESY/3iQPcIBca10/s1600-h/P10107441.jpg"><img alt="P1010744" border="0" height="541" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGKAR7vTI/AAAAAAAAESc/7_DfGVTEQEw/P1010744_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="P1010744" width="412" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGLvKHSQI/AAAAAAAAESg/l68xHMpZ2EQ/s1600-h/Photo0122.jpg"><img alt="Photo012" border="0" height="541" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGNXH4ksI/AAAAAAAAESk/PtroaqMzlH0/Photo012_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="Photo012" width="396" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGOp-GY9I/AAAAAAAAESo/7TPGeOkC9to/s1600-h/P10107413.jpg"><img alt="P1010741" border="0" height="472" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGQIZ6d0I/AAAAAAAAESs/B6qJbKoc8RQ/P1010741_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="P1010741" width="380" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGRXcqLkI/AAAAAAAAESw/dbQUtezTLoA/s1600-h/46847_430838222690_140857057690_5611%5B2%5D.jpg"><img alt="46847_430838222690_140857057690_5611414_6311689_n" border="0" height="540" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_TM2vLBdUg0E/TJfGS-giP8I/AAAAAAAAES0/gssuTkAx1iM/46847_430838222690_140857057690_5611.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="46847_430838222690_140857057690_5611414_6311689_n" width="378" /></a><br />
