The Old Haberdashery: February 2013
http://oldhaberdashery.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Friday, 15 February 2013. Tins, tins and more tins. One of my favourite tins is one that I found in my grandmothers bedside drawer and in it were all manner of things that had been special to her. One was filled with never used bandages still in their original 1950's packaging, for a never occurring emergency, but just in case. All kept in tins...

Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Thursday, 31 January 2013. Whats your W.O.M.M? I was asked this question a while back, just after I had opened the shop. Kit, who runs the delightful Fish Shed. Kit in the Fish Shed. It has to be different and it has to reflect the personality of the shop. My biggest hit ever on our Facebook. Fresh Start - New Beginnings. Links to this post.

The Old Haberdashery: Return of the Rustic Viking
http://oldhaberdashery.blogspot.com/2014/05/return-of-rustic-viking.html
Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Friday, 2 May 2014. Return of the Rustic Viking. I have just come back from Norway. I was hoping to write a blog post about all the folk textiles and art but it was Easter and most of the museums were shut. They like a holiday in Norway. What I found instead was the real inspiration behind it all. The landscape. 3 May 2014 at 09:03. Simple them...

The Old Haberdashery: April 2013
http://oldhaberdashery.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Saturday, 6 April 2013. From Russia with Love. As a destination for an art lover/culture vulture, St.Petersburg is delightful. It is not surprising that the Russian royalty chose to live here. Two must sees on the art trail are without doubt The Hermitage. And The Russian Museum. To the painted wooden panels in rich shades of reds and ochres.

Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Friday, 26 October 2012. East of India ribbon in the shop. Old shop interior (google images). Or the French 'Haber d'acheter'. To have to buy. Or maybe from the word Hapertas. A medieval Anglo-French word denoting pretty wares or a specific type of fabric of the time. Chinese street vendor (google images). Links to this post. It happened to me ...

Hastings Battleaxe : May 2014
http://hastings-battleaxe.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Building a new life in this quirky, historic and diverse corner of East Sussex. Battleaxe raves, rants - and recommends. Monday, 26 May 2014. Hastings Battleaxe update - best shops and garden centres. I was all ready to post 'Best Coffee places' but there was a very bad fire in Hastings Old Town the other night and my favourite, Hanushka in George Street, may have been damaged. We don't know as yet, so I thought for now I'd update some of the most popular Battleaxe posts. In the New Town, the Oxfam books...

Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Thursday, 19 June 2014. For the love of Sylko. I love Sylko cottons. I love their exquisite colours. I love the names such as Dark Pimpernel and Light Petunia. They make sewing feel somehow glamourous. Buying a reel is like choosing sweets. Bright or faded, golden or pale, earthy or vivid. Links to this post. Wednesday, 4 June 2014. Her showcas...

Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Friday, 15 March 2013. Old Postcard of Speldhurst Church. In the Summer she would open the front door with a view over the tombstones and the giant yew and we would sew and chatter on the front step. In the winter we would sit in the tiny kitchen huddled around the old pine table. Old Post Office Cottage, Speldhurst. And at age 7 and 3/4's I ma...

Tales and musings from The Old Haberdasher herself, the peddler of vintage homewares, textiles and haberdashery, the purveyor of artisan crafts from near and far. Friday, 4 October 2013. A time to stop'. Is a magical place. Once you have been, it pulls you back time and time again. To be part of its fabric and its ethos. Nestled at the foot of the south downs, the once home of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, is a very inspiring place to spend some time. And that is where I headed this week. What surprised...
