Homemakers in Cape Town

CAPE TOWN  HOMEMAKERS EXPO attract 38 000 visitors yearly. 

 I was invited to share my French Brocante finds.

 

 Veiled lady statue, 

(available to local orders soon)

one of various images on circle shade 

designed by me to fit lamp base, 

at the back- lamp shades covered with vintage French fabric found at a French  Brocante in France.

 French Brocante  linen finds

Images printed on antique French linen, designed onto half shades was hugely popular.

Once again, as always,

it was  lovely to meet  fellow Francophiles loving the French way...

White ~ Blanc ~ Wit

 Vintage French linen

 A white visual stimulation

 

Human culture has many references to white, 

often related to purity and cleanness,

 White is a color

 the perception of which is evoked by light 

that stimulates all three types

 of color sensitive cone cells in the human eye 

in nearly equal amounts and with high brightness compared to the surroundings.

~ Colette ~

The high contrast between white and black 

is often used to represent opposite extremes.
