A bit of serious spring-divining is going on here, I think that's how i can best explain all the flowers I'm documenting on the blog. The amazing furry ones in the top picture are a kind of flannel flower from a friend's garden. They originate from Australia, I think. And the jasmine is from our garden. For my shop update this week, I made a small collection of pleated bags from my old, favourite pattern. I used recycled linen for all of them, except the cotton ticking. The bag in the front is made from old British Sanderson-printed linen. (I secretly long to furnish my house throughout in Sanderson linen.)
