Autmnal colours ....

Of course there are the wonderful leaves ...




and then I found some in some fabric I was packing ...

These are a pair of curtains made up in a William Morris print which have been hanging in my wardrobe for a year since I bought them at a Jumble Sale. I had been awaiting inspiration, and was secretly a little afraid of cutting into them and then wishing I hadn't, but they are now packed away so will probably have to wait another year, or two, before they are given new life!

Not sure of the provenance of this fabric, but again a pair of curtains found at a Jumble Sale.

Now these are another matter entirely. I do not want to cut them up I want to use them and would plan a room around them! I don't usually go for fabrics like this when making curtains but there's something about them .... I don't think the photo does it justice but they are a beautiful rich green with the floral pattern picked out in white, pink and gold - in fact they don't sound great when described either. We'll have to wait and see where they eventually end up!

I love William Morris prints and just think, when you next unpack them you will be in your new home, and inspiration to do the right thing with them will come. V exciting! x
