Happy Bonfire Night!
The night has an exciting history, which shouldn’t be forgotten amidst the bonfire and the fireworks!
November 5th has been celebrated since 1605, when Guy Fawkes and 13 others attempted to blow up Parliament and kill King James I. The plot failed, and to celebrate the fact the King was alive and Parliament was in tact, the people of London lit bonfires in the streets, in a tradition which would last until today, over 400 years later. The act of Parliament that was passed at the time deemed 5th November as a day of thanksgiving for the deliverance of James I, which remained in force for 254 years.
Today, we eat foods such as toffee apples, treacle toffee and hot pie and mushy peas to mark the occasion. Roasted chestnuts and hot jacket potatoes are also enjoyed.
Enjoy the night! And stay safe with any fireworks you are handling!

Did you know that in Japan where our projects are sold, our tea towels are used not only for being functional but for decoration - we love that they’re framed, or laid on the table as a centrepiece to be admired or hung as a draped item to bring some nature indoors 🌿 we thought we’d do the same by using the tea towel as a centrepiece for a simple cup of tea and very delicious piece of cake! 🍰

We’re thinking of selling our William Morris Daisy fabric by the half metre 🫶🏻 It’s a much narrower fabric than our usual fabrics, but we’ve had some customers interested in it in cotton and heavyweight for projects such as upholstery, curtain and dress making and quilting projects, what do you all think? ✨🌿
