Whilst visiting San Diego this summer, we took a tour of the city, and found Old Town. We went exploring, and found Heritage County Park located adjacent to Old Town. It was developed to preserve examples of San Diego’s historic Victorian architecture as the houses were relocated from their original positions and placed on an eight acre piece of land. It showcases beautiful stylistic examples of Italiante, Stick-Eastlake, Queen Anne and Classic Revival architecture, and it was wonderful to compare and contrast the different styles in one place.
This house is the Burton House, built by retired army physician Henry Guild Burton in 1893. Our William Morris Eyebright zipped top bag on the steps.
William Morris designed Eyebright in 1883 at Merton Abbey.
This is the Christian House, a Queen Anne style house built by Harfield Timberlake Christian the founder of an early San Diego abstract/title company.
The Christian house was built in 1889, the same year William Morris designed Golden Lily.
The Sherman Gilbert house was built and owned by John Sherman in 1887
From 1892 to 1965 sisters Bess and Gertrude Gilbert lived in the house and as patrons of arts and music. Many famous international entertainers came to receptions at their home.

Our William Morris florals Daisy and Willow Bough Green expertly modelled by Bertie during his weekend away to the beautiful @castle_howard - he enjoyed wearing a floral cravatte and bow tie pretending to be a Bridgerton (the bow tie did indeed end up being a bow on the top of his head after one too many sniffs 😂🎀)

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! 🍰
