Picture yourself in a land of featherlight voile and dewy country cotton, buzzing with tiny weeny flybynight characters, and you might find a lovely romantic fairytale ending…

One thought on “Happy ever after”

  1. Thankyou for including these pages from Petticoat 1971 which feature my handpainted Badges. I lived in Fulham, London at the time with my Italian Husband and young family. I my work at sold at Petticoat Lane and Bayswater Road markets, and was lucky enough to sell to Harrods, Selfridges and various boutiques in Kings Road and High Street Kensington.
    I am still making Brooches and other items, everything handpainted …… after 51 years….
    These magazines helped to start my little business by using my badges in photo shoots and I do owe them my gratitude.
