Today, Saturday we went to pay the balance owing on our reupholstered sofas. I was literally squealing again when I saw the new footstool and the almost finished sofas. I forgot to take my phone with me so we’ve arranged to go back on Sunday to take some photos of the progress.
The weather was a bit autumnal this morning so I donned my pinafore, tights, secondhand coat and new Fly London shoes for our trip out. Fly shoes are equally as comfortable as my Fly London biker boots that I have in many colours.
What a super day it’s been. I feel like the cat that’s got the cream. As we haven’t been anywhere this year I’ve treated us to two pieces of St. Ives Artist, Sue Dove’s Textile work for our wedding anniversary on Tuesday. It’s so nice that Philip appreciates the same sort of art as me and he gets equally as excited.
This stunning piece has a backing of a vintage Witney wool blanket then it is layered up with felt, paper, paint, sheer fabrics and lots and lots of stitching. I’ll show you the other piece later when the lights better. The dress is on the wall in the living room right opposite where I sit, so I can give it a good coat of looking at every day.
We can’t stop thinking about how fabulous our sofas look now they’ve been reupholstered and we’re so looking forward to showing you.
Enjoy your evening and keep smiling

Im looking forward to seeing your sofa makeover. Love your pinafore dress, just perfect for the new Season. Your wall art is unusual and colourful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty, our whole house is full of art. There’s not a bare wall to be seen haha

I adore your Sue Dove piece! How inspired you must be looking at that every day. I have her Painting with Stitches book. I didn’t know she is in St Ives though. As it happens I am reading a book by Chris Stephens called St Ives: The Art and the Artists. It concentrates on the St Ives art periods of the 40s, 50s and 60s. Also love your outfit. The wool dress is gorgeous ...the coat is perfect with it .. and the shoes. You must have a lot of fun getting dressed every morning!
ReplyDeleteI’m going to check out that book Christine it sounds interesting. Sue is calling at our house in October on her way to see a friend further up country. I’m so excited to see her again and hope she approves of where I’ve hung her work.

i love the new artwork I am love it when you have a husband who appreciates something as much as you do. Paul is like that. He puts with my anime figure collection which is all over the house, he will even happily build me a new gundam model when I bring one home.
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to see your new sofa. I totally love the fabric, I have a carpet bag in a similar textile. I love fly shoes/boots but my feet don’t love them. Take care and keep safe
It’s all very exciting in our house just now with the arrival of Sue’s artwork and the sofas expected any day this week. We will be on the look out for a new rug next. What a shame you don’t get along with your Fly shoes/boots, they are my favourite footwear. Them and jelly shoes Hee hee
DeleteTake care Allie.

I think your new neighbours are really lucky to have you as neighbours, Lynn! Your new artwork is stunning, and I'm in love with your Autumnal outfit. The pinafore dress is gorgeous and I'm loving the berry colours of your opaques and jacket! xxx
