From Julie:
Fabric designers Rebecca Aird and Peter Thwaites founded Rapture & Wright in 2002 with a small collection of hand-printed fabrics and wallpapers. The duo is dedicated to producing a 100 percent British product: “The cloth is woven in the UK, and the designs are conceived and handprinted in our studio, using skills that are rapidly disappearing in the UK. Short runs and bespoke colorways are part of the service.” Rapture & Wright fabrics are available through Lucy Rose Design in Chicago.

From Julie:
Classic English living rooms always seem to feature rustic woven bullrush baskets for storing fireplace wood. Unfortunately, such baskets are difficult to find in the US. Manhattan’s William-Wayne & Co. carries them, at $350 for the smaller size (18 inches high) or $400 for the large (20 inches high). In the UK, Felicity Irons’ Rush Matters, located in Bedfordshire, produces handmade log baskets in three sizes, starting at £99 (she also offers weekend weaving workshops at her studio in a converted granary). If you’re in London, Chair Works offers several sizes (call for prices).
