IT'S A BIRD !

I have always been a huge fan of patterns with birds. As a child I was fascinated by the busy patterned wallpaper in my room. It had a pink background colour patterned with a grey and white Toille de Jouy-type of design. Hidden between romantic farm houses and fully leafed trees, I discovered tiny little birds. During my hunt for retro borders (see earlier post) I was trilled to find these lovely creatures.

A great source of inspiration to many designers as you can see on the cushions shown here from department store John Lewis. Love them!
