Period Curtains?

[JoceAndChris]

Ilona, you are indeed a great mine of information. Most fabrics I lust after I can't afford either.

Those patterns Nigel - how wonderful!

Imagine it in this velvet by Mulberry!

Here's another, a silk, that might look rather nice on your Chesterfield? (also Mulberry)

This website is my current fabric porn:

Joce alot of whats on Kingdom interiors you can buy via a few businesses on ebay at even cheaper prices . I know ebay isn't for everyone but if you aren't scared..

There are a few other outlets and such too for certain fabrics that i will have to dig out from the back of beyond and post for you. we aren't all so affluent that we can buy the top dollar niceties. most of the time my budget doesn't stretch anywhere near that of some of my clients but, you can normally find exactly what you are looking for at a fraction of the cost if you know where to look.

These also have an ebay shop which can be as much as 50% cheaper than their main online store for some fabrics .

These people are also very good for silks etc...i think their silks start at around £8 per metre or maybe slightly less if i remember rightly

This is boring.

I'm going to start a thread about jock straps.

 

[Schoolmarm]

Silk jockstraps? I have a link.

www.silkjocks.com

 

[JoceAndChris]

:lol:

But you did have codpieces not so long ago Penners? Wanting jockstraps in the same month is pure greed...but ... a jockstrap in this fabric - oh, never mind.

Ilona - that's lovely, I shall make myself a huge mug of coffee and settle down with those websites and half a packet of chocolate Hobnobs - bliss.

 

[Schoolmarm]

Chocolate hob nobs. It always sounds delicious, so I bought some last week.
They were like coarse woodchips with chocolate on top. But not quite enough chocolate.

 

[JoceAndChris]

:lol: A big slab of Dairy Milk is even better.

 

[Schoolmarm]

Mmmm my favourite cheap chocolate is galaxy with fruit and nuts.

 

[Penners]

Chocolate hob nobs.... They were like coarse woodchips with chocolate on top. But not quite enough chocolate.

At last, someone who is prepared to see that the Emperor is naked!

I've never understood the general enthusiasm for chocolate hobnobs. Nor indeed, for any biscuit with a little chocolate on it. When I'm dictator, it'll be the other way around.

 

[Flyfisher]

Spot on regarding chocolate hob-nobs 'marm, although I wouldn't go quite as far as Penners' banishment of choccy biccies come the revolution.

I used to favour chocolate olivers but usually end up with plain chocolate digestives these days.

 

[ilona73]

Nope you are all wrong the lot of you!
biscuits scmishkets!
Pah!
cadburys double choc is bliss... just like a caramel but gooey choc inside yummy. perfect with a nice coffee !
Okay so i have just spilled what i do when i am meant to be working!
:lol:

No, no, FF. You misunderstand me. I would only banish biscuits with a little chocolate on them in favour of chocolates with a little biscuit on them

 

[jocelyn plummer]

Here I am happily munching a piece of homemade flapjack. No chocolate, just demerara sugar, treacle, butter and organic oats from Leatheringsett Mill.

 

[Penners]

To quote Marvin The Paranoid Android: "Sounds aaaawful."


:wink:

Ah, my apologies for the misunderstanding. It did seem a bit of an odd stance. :wink:

 

[Gareth Hughes]

Fox's '"Chunkie" extremely chocolatey cookies' please. Despite the spelling and the use of the word "cookies" they do seem to have forgotten to put much biscuit in them. Yum.

 

[Nigel Watts]

Another potentially suitable carpet which I missed at auction becasue I was too busy to go and see it. Sold for £1,250 - at the lower end of its estimate.

 

[Penners]

Nigel, would you kindly remain on-topic? We're talking about chocolate biscuits here!

:wink:

 

[Jill]

I'll talk carpets with you Nigel (only because I can't talk chocolate biscuits - unless they are dairy free ones)

Shame you missed the carpet, I think the colouring would have gone well in my room too.

 

[ilona73]

Isn't that a biscuit colour in the rug? :lol: :lol: :lol:
