Little eccentricities

You'd think the Brits were eccentrics, sitting on a deckchair in gale force winds, desperately trying to enjoy a hint of warmer weather. And you'd definitely be right, lol. Luckily that quirky attitude also makes it's way into lovely collections of prints and patterns by folks like Thornback & Peel. Theirs is a world where Victorian jelly moulds and pigeons happily scatter across wallpapers and fabrics and rabbits and cabbages frolic on a cushion. Love their new deckchairs (they have teatowels and t-shirts too) - I could totally see myself sitting in one and enjoying an ice lolly or a '99' by the seaside...
