This week’s blog is a small homage to a glorious colour. O just had to be for orange.
We are big fans, and judging by our popular photos on Flickr and items that always sell well on H is for Home, so are a lot of you out there.
Orange has the wonderful ability to look warm & cosy in the winter or lively & fresh in the summer.
Orange objects really catch the eye. It enables them to shout loudly in a collection of other brightly coloured pieces.
Alternatively, it’s perfect as a highlight colour within a muted decor or against natural materials.
We’ve given a few chairs the orange treatment!
We did a G is for Garden a couple of months ago having just planted out some annuals. Our French marigolds are doing well in the sunshine & showers.
Till next week! x

i have a Ken Law picture and have been Googling to find out who he is. Sure enough its identical to yours. Can you tell me anything about him ? where did you get it ? i inherited it from my father, love it but don’t know where he got it. Are you in America ? There seems to be a suggestion that the Picture is of Hampstead in London – I think the cars look British …

Unfortunately we don’t know much about Ken Law either. Our copy is a print on board – we picked it up in a charity shop a few years ago.
The image is definitely British with the the cars, buildings, post box etc. A very 1960s feel to it – Hampstead sounds completely feasible.
Can anyone else add any further information?
