I grew up on an island, one of a group called The Isles of Scilly, located 28 miles off the very southwest tip of England. Wild and rugged but with white sandy beaches and a mild climate, so mild that plants I see here in Los Angeles grow there. One of the islands, Tresco, boasts a garden full of sub-tropical plants, artifacts from shipwrecks and other magical finds. It's a wonderful place to call Home.
These gardens are the inspiration for a collection of fabrics from Liberty of London this season, J Crew has even made a shirt from one of the prints.. I don't know what my Gran would have to say about that.
I think I feel a sewing project coming on.
