In the run up to Christmas we are all on the hunt for unusual presents, in particular bespoke and hand-crafted gifts. A wonderful maker I have discovered is Lucy Wakefield, I am posting details about her lovely range.
Lucy Wakefield set up Old Favourite just over two years ago, but first started her obsession with colour, textiles and vintage whilst studying for a degree in fashion in the mid-1990s. Lucy then went on to work as a knitwear and fashion designer. When Lucy recently returned to live in Devon, she started to develop a range of screen printed textiles, using imagery from her collection of vintage postcards, hand drawings and wooden print blocks. Lucy's passion for interesting handmade things has formed the basis of Old Favourite. pieces include vintage paper birds, (featured in Country Living and English Home magazines) printed cushions, tea cosies, tea towels, lavender hearts and peg bags, alongside mixed media paintings and prints.
"Old Favourite is all about vintage inspired art and design, a collection of handmade and hand printed things for your home which are unique, full of character and nostalgic."
See www.oldfavourite.co.uk for details on stockists and trade enquiries and commissions.
Happy shopping
All the best Sara x
