One of the things I'm noticing a lot more these days, is how print, illustration and pattern has been used in days gone by. As with most fashion styles, what goes around comes around, and it's easy to see how designers and makers now are influenced by past trends (me included).
my weekend finds:
I love the pattern on this plate
I can't find much out about when it was made - looks 60's/70's.
This book is also from the 60's
I'm loving the folksy patten on the top/smock the punch wears, and only bought the book because I like the illustrations.
This book was from the turn of the previous century. I can't find a date in it but it has a sticker pasted on the back which dates 1910 and would be consistent with the art deco pattern on the front
I wonder, when in the future people look back to the fashion and popular styles of today, what might be typical of this period in time?
