A Roomful of Corsages

Popped into the city yesterday, visited A Roomful of Roses, in the Brisbane Arcade, Queen Street

 and found this little gem of a fabric store, just across the way.

Genuine designer textiles.

Came away with:

A wool tweed with a touch of silver lurex used by Chanel.

A pure silk, with silk yarn embroidered sheer organza.

Ready for fleurs.

Had a lovely morning tea.

Didn't quite wear this, but wished I could have.

Valentino, circa 1950s a silk tulle rosey embellishment.

Last night had the luxury of working in the House of Flora.

I disobeyed the Embroiderers' Guild maxim, to only embroider when the housework's done.

And created camellias, from the tweed.

Hope you like them.

It's a special shoot.

This lovely piece of embellished mesh is next on Flora's to-do list.

I am not kidding, when I tell you it was $980/m. C-o-u-t-u-r-e, yes, that's right.

It was reduced slightly, and I just bought a sliver.
