Let's go to Liberty

Liberty of London is a place of homage to be visited every time I am in London.

I just wish I'd worn a swishy frock. My cycling shoes and cargo pants let me down for a few hours here.

The summer sale was on. And I managed to not leave entirely empty-handed.

I came  across a trunk of decorator velvet sample swatches though. And I was allowed to take some - enough to make a laptop sleeve if I can manage that by hand.

The  vision for founding the store was for it to be an emporium laden with luxuries and fabrics from distant lands. It was built in the 1920s, at the height of the fashion for all things Tudor. You can see the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement sitting beautifully with the mock-Tudor. 

Not a lot more to say, just more of my photos.
