Downton Abbey

29th March 2013

It seems that some of our customers are buying William Morris tablecloths to “set the scene” for their Downton Abbey parties!   I thought I’d post a picture for all of you ”Downton” fans.  It’s a rather gorgeous dress worn by the actress Michelle Dockery who stars in the drama.  It’s part of a lovely exhibition at the Barley Hall, York.

A pvc tablecloth is fantastic as it simply wipes clean which often makes it our top pick for meal times, they come in many Morris designs and are sold by the half metre to fit every table, it won’t fray so doesn’t need a hem 👻 keep watching to see who our tea guest was 😉

We absolutely love Pimpernel Green, a timeless design it was first designed in 1876 by Morris, and is as beautiful today as it was then! 🍂

Getting craft ready for Halloween with our little wool ghosts! 👻 We’re going to use them on place settings and on a Halloween tree 🎃 Super easy to make, all you need is wool, felt or googly eyes and some glue 🤎 we hope you like our first crafty video, we started with one ghost in the background and re did this video so many times we ended up with a whole ghost party- and we ended up covered in googly eyes 😂 The idea of the ghosts was from @thepomwreathcompany 🧡
