Swags and Tales of Woe

…it’s a long time since I’ve done swags and tails, but there are a few windows which are just made for them.  This is a very tall landing window, which needed a dramatic statement in keeping with the character and age of the house – a template had to be made for the curve, which was a very wobbly task atop a very wobbly ladder – health and safety?? Ooops….

…but of course Pride comes before a Fall…and to my heart-stopping horror, I managed to knock a very lovely and rather precious ceramic bowl, which shattered into a hideous number of pieces.  Thank goodness for insurance and the amazing skill and patience of Douglas Strang, Ceramic Conservationist…I now have a very happy client, as it had been broken before and rather clumsily stapled, whereas now, it’s as good as new (new being about 200 years old!)
