I'm feeling a bit like a one-armed paper hanger this week.
Those days where you go around in a circle, come back to the start, and can't remember what you set out to do in the first place!
I guess that's why this store window took two days to pull together instead of one.
I started again on Day 2 - day one's effort was so bad!
The daffodils & jonquils save the day!
A joyful burst of spring amongst the indigo china blues which are my favourite interior fix right now.
A rummage down in the garage produced some of my old blue & white china plates - complete with plate hangers and dust from when they must have last seen the light of day!
Vintage japanese indigo fabric from my stash, traditional indian block-printed indigo fabric from my recent trip, and the latest beautifully woven Designers Guild linens, silks & indigo wallpaper.
These indigo blues span at least 150 years.
I guess some colours have and always will inspire.

Blue and white and the zing of yellow is a perennial favourite of mine too!
ReplyDeleteI always love blue and white china, though a pomegranate sitting
ReplyDeleteon a plate would really wrap it up for me.
I'm intrigued by your fabrics.

Gorgeous blues, my favourite colour. And the daffs and jonquils evoke sunshine, blue skies and happiness! x
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful I really love the Designers Guild blue, black & white cushion <3 x
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the other day how much I would love to buy matching glasses and plates. And I would go for some shade of blue, because it's the theme in my house, even if my kitchen is green. Love Designer's Guild, Trisha is a genius.
ReplyDeleteI just love love love blue and white china. You are right, that burst of bright yellow is perfect in this lovely display!

Window looks amazing! Love the tape over the plates and the embroidery hoop tied to the fabric drop...clever lady!
ReplyDeleteThe one armed paperhanger did a great job! Looks gorgeous, love the blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue and white is always beautiful! The yellow really pops against the blue. Your window display is so cheery!
ReplyDeleteSwooning at the blue, Gorgeous. *Sigh*. You excelled yourself. J x
ReplyDeleteDear Marigold,
ReplyDeleteYour jonquils are so pretty. (So is the window!) Ah, spring! (It seems so far far away here- enjoy every fleeting moment!)
