Feathers, teeth and patches....



Plumpy soft, double eiderdown with pretty posies of flowers and pink piping....



An equally plumpy soft cot eiderdown......


With faded green satin inset on one side.....



And pretty roses fabric.....


The little and large of the eiderdown world .....

A fabulously heavy, dog tooth tweed coat, a good generous size (16/18) and fastens both ways so could be for a gent either.....


Made by Jacksons the tailor, with its 1940's utility mark and subtle pocket and cuff detail....



It would make a great winter coat ........or even as an authentic coat for 1940's re-enactment enthusiasts.

Finally this unfinished 19th century patchwork with lovely muted browns, blues, pinks.....






And a very vibrant yellow and red glazed chintz which looks as if it could have been done yesterday....


It reminds me of the Northumberland flag.....


Or is that just coincidence?

    Some great things to look at here. I just LOVE eiderdowns and that coat is wonderful. I like vintage clothes that actually look and are proper vintage not the M&S or Laura Ashley ones that are described as vintage and I suppose are, but that I used to wear!
