Neoclassical Beach Cottage begins to tell the story of this darling barkcloth...lots of old fashioned twists and turns of fabulous sweetness...a subtle glow...that swank of age patina that had women clobbering each other and clamoring for more of this beautiful stuff...the 90's flea markets pre internet market places was a very violent scene...I'd have to hire security guards to keep the barkcloth and chenille ladies in line...for they were hungry...STARVING...yes FAMISHED for a taste of the good stuff...the colorways and floral patterns of our grandmothers and mothers...hung on windows just long enough to acquire that order subtle glow like that of a movie starlet of the 40's being filmed behind the fragility of gauze...giving a perfect glow...covered like art on sweet cottage side chairs and comfy granny chairs...these cottage prints had a glow...but in that glow was also a look of gentle fading...even though the textile is brand new old stock...designers back in the 30's were deliberately creating these subtle sun parched soft blues and pinks exposing the beauty of age old treasures we honor...brought to us by those who have passed and left us craving more of them...of things nostalgic...things that warm our hearts until we meet again...
