Tilda Chic Escape, 5 inch charm pack, a Tilda Collection designed by Tone Finnanger, 40--5 inch squares **perfectly imperfect** A little background on Chic Escape & Daisyfield... "Our escape during lockdown, a rather chic escape i might add, was following all the charming people that left their old lives behind to restore derelict French chateaus, on YouTube. Starting their days kneed deep in mud because of a leak and ending it with a cocktail party. Spending an uncommon amount of time in their dressing gowns often paired with wellies (I suppose their dressing rooms are just too far away) and flanked by a peacock while tackling obstacles like a bathtub falling through the floor. Trips to local flea markets (brocants), always on the lookout for vintage pottery, fabric and furniture to bring these fast building to life. Chic Escape is inspired by brave people saving and bringing life and laughter back to old forgotten homes, and all our shared interests in vintage fabric, potter and flowers. A very special thanks to the wonderful people at Chateau de la Lande for all the joy and inspiration. With its larger patterns and bolder, deeper colors, Chic Escape differs from other Tilda collections. This is without a doubt the most labor-intensive collection in the history of Tilda Fabrics. The goal was to have the same level of detail in these larger patters as in our small prints. Daisyfield extras in 10 colors, designed using details from Wildgarden is useful addition to the main collection. We recently decided to divide the year into three collections; spring/summer and autumn/winter, with a special edition concept in between. The latter allows us to test out new ideas and different looks without too much emphasis on season. Chic Escape is our first Special Edition collection" *** This listing is for 1 Tilda, Chic Escape, 5 inch charm pack. Charm Pack...40--5 inch squares stack will contain doubles. shipping is set to flat rate...which does include insurance and tracking. *** hopefully you can find a little niche in your world for a little Tilda. Other fabrics from this collection are available along with precuts including charms, strip rolls, and fat quarters, along with kits and coordinating books. *** happy stitching! ---a

Eating is really one of your indoor sports. You play three times a day, and it's well worthwhile to make the game as pleasant as possible. Dorothy Draper {HISTORY} Dorothy Draper (1889-1969) was a dynamo in the interior design world of the 20th century. Known for her bright colors, bold patterns and big beautiful floral aesthetic, Dorothy was the interior designer you called upon if you wanted to make a lavish, colorful impact in your home or your hotel or your restaurant. Here in the South, we know Dorothy best as the colorful interior designer behind the Greenbrier Hotel, but really she made an impact all over the country, especially in New York where she was involved in several hotel and restaurant projects. With a personality as big as her creative designs, Dorothy was all about bringing happiness and joy to personal places and spaces. So it is with great excitement that we offer this very, very rare Dorothy Draper designed plate in the shop. Made by Mayer China in Beaver Falls PA for the Boston Showcase Company, it most likely was for a restaurant or hotel project that she was involved in. With monogram initials in the center that read either (DEC , DH or DCC) and a pretty pink and brown rim, it has been the source of fun investigations through history trying to figure out what project it was attached to. Alas, no concrete details have emerged, even after checking with the Boston Showcase Company (a restaurant ware retailer) so for the time being, we are left up to our own imaginations as to what fantastical ideas Dorothy had in mind when designing this specific plate. So far it seems to be one of a kind, but we will continue trying to research the pattern until we finally have a solution to our little mystery. {SPECIAL FEATURES} - Very rare pattern - Stamped on back with the following info: Designed by Dorothy Draper Made exclusively by Mayer China Beaver Falls PA for Boston Showcase Co {CONDITION} In lovely vintage condition. No chips or cracks. {SIZE} Measures 9.75" inches (diameter) {STYLE IDEA} Dorothy would want you to incorporate this plate into your collection in a big way. Since she was a lover of flowers just as much as us, we'd recommend pairing this beauty with a mix of pink and brown vintage plates for the ultimate in stylish tablesetting. Go big and go bold!

I am sure we all remember with fondness the days of our youth filling little colored buckets with sand to build sandcastles - until our big brothers (or the school bullies) came along and destroyed them! What fun. Some people were fortunate enough to not have their castles ruined and with all the practice eventually
