Dud Lawson
I love this cute print on Threadless by Dud Lawson. It's also available on a t-shirt of course. It has the cutest title too 'We're on the same level'.... awwww

Vintage cards
I thought I would share some of the more bizarre vintage cards from my personal collection. They don't make them like they used to!

Florence Broadhurst
I have been a big fan of the Florence Broadhurst prints ever since I first discovered them. But it was the life that she lead that has fascinated me the most.
She was a singer, a dancer, a designer, an artist and a businesswoman. She ran various businesses such as an arts academy in Shanghai during the 1920's, a dress salon in London (she reinvented herself as Madame Pellierand during this time) and a trucking company.
Her most well known role was running her internationally successful wallpaper company but it is her death that was the most intriguing. In 1977, aged 78, she was found murdered in her studio. The killer remains a mystery to this day.
Luckily her prints live on under the care of Signature Prints so we can all enjoy them. I would highly recommend reading 'Florence Broadhurst: Her Secret Extraordinay Lives by Helen O'Neill if you want to find out more about her life (and death).

Letterpress heaven!
I bought this cute card by Hello Lucky the other day for my husband for Valentines Day from Magma (my favourite shop in Manchester!)
I love letterpress cards... I mean who doesn't like the way they look and feel. But I never really understood how the process all worked - that was until I found the Hello Lucky site - they have a whole step by step process ofhow a letterpress works! With simple words and pictures for people like me!

Show us your Blanket Poster!
I know you have probably already seen this image before as I was totally in love with it... but I couldn't help posting it again as I just love the way she has styled it! It truly looks like it's straight from the pages of a magazine... I guess what else can you expect when it's in the hands of such a talented photographer as Natalie Jeffcott (who was also featured on the poster).
What you might not know about Natalie is when she is not photographing she actually runs Arthurs Circus in Melbourne, Australia which features lots of beautiful vintage toys, collectables, lighting, photography and art. If you can't get to the shop you can still let your inner child free by being a voyeur through her beautiful blog where you will see more examples of her beautifully styled photography.
If you would like to show us where you have your Blanket poster then email me a photo! Email me at: editor (at) blanketmagazine.com
And if you would like to join in the fun you can get a copy of the Blanket poster at the Blanket online store.
