TANTALIZING TICKING ..........


Isn't ticking lovely ? I haven't got any in our home, but I really must rectify that situation as it's such a fresh look.


I've got the white pillow with ties ..........



I've have the white shabby mirror ..........




I have the chest of drawers ..........



I have the straw shopper ..........



.......... the vintage cases ..........




.......... the luggage labels ..........




.......... the black and white framed photographs ..........





.......... and even the brass bed but, not a stitch of ticking has entered our house. I think that I shall make it my mission (if I choose to accept it ) to bring a little ticking into our home. How about you, or have you beaten me to it ?

    Dear Jackie,
    Of course! I have been hoarding...er, collecting blue and white ticking and red ticking too...since the 70's! I'm hopeless! It is so classic and timeless though!
    The photos here are fabulous!
    I think you should go get yourself some today!
    I hope you have a great week!
    xoxo Laura :)

    Now that I think of it...I have no ticking either. I used to have a fabulous pair of kitchen curtains, I wonder where they went! Love these pictures!

    Dear Jacqueline, Yes, I share your enthusiasm for ticking and have found a wonderful [and inexpensive]source of it in Brighton.
    I had a rather dismally upholstered daybed which has been transformed with black and white ticking and now occupies pride of place in my Budapest bathroom.

    Jackie,
    You aren't alone on either point - I love the look of ticking, but don't have any. You've inspired me to start a search for the perfect linens for a special place in my home. Rita

    Hi Jackie,

    It is a bit embarrassing, but I did not know what ticking was. I had to look it up on google :-)!

    You made me realise I don't have any ticking as well. I used to have some in my home (curtains & pillows), but that was years ago. I Love it though.

    I think it is a bit out of fashion at the moment. You hardly come upon it in magazines. Only in summer, when they show us beach houses, the ticking returns!

    Wish you a happy evening!

    Lieve groet, Madelief

    Hi Jackie ... yes it is such a wonderful, versatile fabric.
    Your images are just beautiful ... as always!
    My favourites are the gorgeous caned back chair and those beautiful vintage cases ... aren't they something!

    You're right about the havoc the snow is causing ... but I still cant get over living somewhere where it snows ... its magical!
    Have a great rest of the week and rug up as that nasty northern wind is a blowing today!

    Love all these beautiful shots - I'll take what you're having please! I am actually rather obsessed with ticking even though I don't have any in my house at the moment. One of my settees used to be ticking but was old and I recovered it with something else because of where it was going. I think I shall go on a mission as well! My first visit - my other mission - I shall return!

    I don't but am on a similar mission...perhaps something I can make into a table runner!

    Hi Jackie!!!! I don't have ticking either, but in a new home there are a lot of things missing and a lot of new objects to buy! I will think about ticking!!!
    Many hugs!

    I do have just a couple of pieces of ticking...but I haven't a clue where they are. I packed them away when I moved and still haven't come across them! I love ticking!!! I agree, you really must put it on your list. Should I say...Time is ticking!?!
