Often
from just one image sprouts a thousand seedlings
of endless possibilities.
We
love a stripe.
We
really love pink.
Which
is all very well...
... But we also love
Black
and white.
So we
(Mrs
Dent and I) locked ourselves away
And
scribbled and sketched and snipped and
Snapped
and changed our minds often…
We
invented occasions – ‘what would you wear to….
Tea
with the Queen?’
‘This’
I replied.
And
‘One
day I will (have tea with the Queen)
But
perhaps I will wear …’
…
this. Or...
‘….perhaps this would be more
sensible.’
Since those heady days last summer
when the fabrics were chosen,
the patterns made and the samples hand stitched, we
scraped
together a collection, which as I write is currently in
full
production.
With magic, patience and
the expert skills of
Sophie and her lovely factories we
will have this collection available very soon.
Meanwhile, I suggest you visit www.cabbagesandroses.com
And
snap up the bargains of the current season, until the spring
when the fruits of our labour will
start to arrive on our brand
new
website and our beautiful Sydney Street store.
