Vintage wallpaper

Just wanted to share these beautiful vintage wallpapers I found at Belsay Hall.  Although much of the downstairs is stripped back to bare stone, some of the original wallpapers upstairs remain.  Floral and faded...gorgeous.

Catherine Howard Designs at Belsay Hall

I spent a very relaxing afternoon at Belsay Hall's Christmas gift fair today.  I'd like to feature the work of Textile designer, Catherine Howard, whose stall looked rather yummy!  Catherine had an assortment of goodies on her table, including her tailored waistcoats and some highly decorative Christmas tree baubles.  Catherine runs Textile workshops here in the North East and is quite an inspiration when it comes to surface decoration, embroidery and print techniques!  She teaches Textile Design and has also given talks for the Embroiderer's Guild.  To contact her and see more of her work visit www.catherinehowarddesigns.com
