Katrina Kaye in store!

We have some new gorgeous Katrina Kaye cushions and messenger bags in store.

Katrina Kaye is an English husband and wife team now living in Amsterdam, Holland.

They source the most wonderful vintage Scandinavian textiles and create wonderful pieces like these large scatter cushions and recycled army messenger totes.

These totes are created with vintage army bags, coupled with Scandinavian vintage textiles.

We only have a few left, they just fly out the door!

Katrina Kaye cushions (along with some of our gorgeous vintage textiles).

Jason hard at work...........



Thought I would pop on a photo of Jason, working hard in the store! This was taken before we changed the store around and moved a wall to make more room........so before Christmas.

I found the photo on my computer, whilst trying to find photos taken a while back of some of our vintage fabrics.

I have decided to list a few on ebay. www.stores.ebay.com.au/atomic-textiles to give us more room! We have so much vintage fabric, shelves and shelves in the store, boxes and boxes under our house, boxes and boxes in our packaging room at the back of the store, some in my bedroom, rolls in our spare room...........so thought we would clear a little out.

I am still finding it hard to part with my collection of Scandivanivian textiles, but you never know what I may list when I find the time.

Still working on getting the new website up and running, so don't forget to pop in to see all our new fabrics. We have a fab new range from Robert Kaufman in store now. http://www.funkyfabrix.com.au/
