Still going on about Paisley- and on, and on...

Here's the train of thought.
Taking a photo of the antique toilet in our guest house ( owned by William Wordsworth) , I remembered that the wallpaper was a William Morris design.
William Morris embraced the Paisley design in his Orientalism  in the late 19th century. That's when Paisley became a little more Bohemian, and probably is the link to the 1960s hippy love for Paisley.
Find out how to wear Paisley in 2012 ( men too!) here.

Here's the photo that inspired this blog today.
The antique Toilet at White Moss House, Grasmere

Why was I taking a photo of our Twyford's Original Sultan? That's another story.......

Men! How about this great Paisley retro shirt? Really, it's the designer trend for 2012- honest!
