To think William Morris and Gransnet are poles apart

Gracie is lovely Fc and looks very comfortable.

Just looked on Next for the PJs and shirt. DH says if we buy those and sit on the sofa, we won’t be able to find each other. That should be fun ?

Nothing HQ could say about why they deleted a thread would ever stand up to granscrutiny so they, quite sensibly, just say what the hell they like as to reasons and chuck it in our faces.

And good for them, I say.

Bbkenneth I have all of the WM jimjams and the robe with the deer on.

oops ^In celebration of their 160th year Morris & Co. have collaborated with Next on a collection for the whole family. Explore the enduring appeal of iconic William Morris prints across mens', womens' and childrens' fashion from dresses and blouses to trousers and shirts.^

I might buy some cushion covers but I think I'll draw the line at Strawberry Thief trousers!

Our decor, in the early 80’s, was a mix of Sanderson/Morris, Liberty and Laura Ashley.
Wallpaper and matching curtains! De rigueur once upon a time. ??‍♀️
Loved it then but my taste has changed completely from busy to a more calming effect.

Joieann I know that you are far from common. Me, however…

Oh, she'd really posh is Josieann if she's got Joules stuff for the dog!
Practising my curtsey in case I meet her.

But possibly you're even posher, FannyCornforth.

I do fancy a William Morris face mask.

Q. Why do GNHQ delete threads with no artistic merit?

A. Because they can.

How to clash everything in my lounge a few years ago. You are not alone Kalu!

William Morris designs has dog poo bag holders. The poor man would be turning in his grave!

Perhaps I'll change my mind about cushions then.

I blame Jane Morris. She’s got wind of you posting FannyC and trying to sabotage

As "not in the spirit of GN" is now old hat maybe they are looking for new suggestions.
I like your idea Farzanah perhaps they could use"Jane Morris doesn't like it"

But, to paraphrase - "She has no authority here, that Jane Morris"

"She has no authority here, that Jane Morris"

Gracie deserves the best of Wm Morris and everything else FannyC

Can I join in please.

Kittlester, you have the same Morris in your hall as we do

Whoops, maybe that isn’t your hallway. I should put my specs on

God that is a lovely hallway!!!! HOW are all your homes so tidy and spacious

Thanks for the new name Fanny love it. Xxxx

I just love all William Morris designs. Made some curtains once but passed them on, when they didn't fit the next house.

My great grandfather, a radical activist in the late 19th century, knew William Morris.

I often wonder how the middle class ladies who chose his wallpaper and curtain designs in the 1970's and 80's, might have felt about his politics.

varian, please do educate us as I know a bit but not enough....
