Strawberry Leaf
Suffolk Leaf
I love sifting through EBay looking for textiles and it’s become quite a habit of mine over the last two years. It all started with my affection for Fortuny prints and loving a good find. I haven’t found a nice bit of Fortuny as yet. It is very rare to find pieces in Europe and in the US they are vastly overpriced. I refuse to buy a remnant for $30 from someone else's sample library, that’s just rude! I have however found out of print gorgeousness like the long discontinued Colefax and Fowler Strawberry Leaf and George Spencer’s Suffolk Leaf. The later is still being printed but on a linen ground and has been re-coloured a lovely plum and lime green colour way.
I have enough Suffolk Stripe for a single headboard with, I think, a coral bed valance contrast bound in mouse’s back, ideal for a small guest bed with horizontal Tongue and Groove walls. The Strawberry leaf will cover my soon to be IKEA Patrik desk chair.
