Peony Gardens

This is my 4th month working with John at Martin Hudson and Gibson. Everyday, I discover fabulous treasures in our store. Today, as I was browsing through our archives, I stumbled across an alluring fabric; Peony Gardens from the Jasmine and Jade Collection, made by Greeff for Warner and Sons. Greeff, an American based designer, travelled worldwide seeking inspiration for all of his designs. Through his career, he brought out two collections a year, with this specific one dating back to the 1980's. Beautiful greens and blues with splashes of orange mix perfectly to create the organic pattern on this 100% cotton fabric. Searching further, I dusted off another stash, finding a meticulously stitched tablecloth from the same era, in a second colour wave of the Peony Gardens fabric. Pleated and piped, this tablecloth would have once covered a round chip board table. All the rage of the 80's! Come on in to see more of the beautiful vintage fabrics we have (and are still discovering!) in our store.
