Oh my!

I am a smitten kitten with the new season of fabrics from Liberty. I could happily buy anything from Liberty and it ranks very high on my mental list of fantasy shops I would like to get locked in overnight. The fabrics are the highlight though and remind me of happy 1980's Saturdays spent in their sadly long-departed shop in Cambridge. The sun definitely shone more in the 80's didn't it?

This is a new design by author and illustrator Lauren Child. I love that it has echoes of her finest creation, Clarice Bean, but there is still something fresh and new about it. And absolutely no sign of Charlie and Lola! I may have to get some of this - I am thinking it would look good as fabric panels on my daughter's bedroom wall.
