RépondreSupprimerThe nautical clothes and style is all along this coast, we have visited here many times, sailed from Newhaven to Dieppe and stayed at Berck sur Mer. My Dad was in the Navy and loved all the French nautical tourist gifts, he had quite a few in his dining room which he called the cabin.
RépondreSupprimerI love the story about your Dad, I can imagine how he kept the Navy spirit decorating his dining room.
SupprimerSome lovely and unusual designs here and beautiful craft work. Love the wooden buttons and the extravegant hairstyle including a ship, ha ha. Fancy making fabric from seaweed !
SupprimerI found the start of the journey! I love all your nautical themed photos. I'm not a fan of the style, too much white for me to wear myself. But I do love those willowy stripy ladies, did you stitch them yourself?
