Snowdrops

17th February 2014

Snowdrops, usually the first sign that spring is on its way, are always such a welcome sight.  Amongst other things, snowdrops make me think of Christina Rossetti.

“… Then snowdrops and my heart I’ll bring,…” (from The Feast of the Presentation by Christina Rossetti c 1877)

Open
A close up of our beautiful licensed William Morris Trellis 😍 Isn't it such a timeless design, it was first designed in 1864, inspired by the rose trellis in Morris's garden at beautiful Red House 🌿 It was the first wallpaper Morris designed, along with Daisy and Fruit. Because the three designs were produced using a hand printing process, each colour needed a separate block and for the three designs it was 12 blocks each so was a long and expensive process. Therefore, they were all put on hold until the early 1870s when Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & co. had enough money to finance the designs 🎨We love the Trellis design, currently our tea towel is hanging over the cooker - we always wonder if Morris could ever have foreseen that his design in 1864 would be so well loved all these years later? 🤍 • • • #williammorris #williammorriswallpaper #williammorrisdesign #williammorrisdesigns #trellis #redhouse #philipwebb #teatowelsofinstagram #teatowel #preraphaelite #preraphaelites #independantbusiness #timelessdesign
