Some days ago, I was rummaging through some drawers and came across my old curtains, pictured above, from my childhood room in the early eighties. A good reminder about the fact that I wasn't exactly born yesterday, as they had a very vintage feel to them. How about you Dear Readers; can you still remember your childhood curtains?
Anyway, as we are planning to go camping this summer, I decided to turn some of the fabric into a little sleeping bag for my daughter, pictured here above. Originally, on my wish list was a rabbit print sleeping bag from a British brand called Anorak, but this is a more affordable option. And as it has rabbits on it, which my daughter loves, all the better.
Talking about vintage curtains, I recently found this lovely pair above from a vintage shop in Hebden Bridge, a charming little market town here in West Yorkshire. They were manufactured in the sixties by a company called Duro. I am usually devoted to Marimekko curtains, as I use to work for the company quite a few years, but as these vintage curtains are so pretty, they ended up in the window of my daughter's bedroom. I wonder if she will remember them 30 years from now ...
Very nice, love the vintage curtains, what a lucky find!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, a lucky find indeed. At first I nearly didn't buy them.
ReplyDeleteI had a moment of sense and thought that I have enough curtains already.
Luckily, that moment passed quickly...
You have a great memory! I don'tremember any of the curtains in my room when I was a kid. Anyway, this looks very lovely; it even looks like a painting. A nice piece of accessory that is worthy to be hung on your window. Roxie Tenner @ WindowTreatmentsPhiladelphia.com
