Anatomy of a fridge door (first published June 2013)

What’s in my fridge is perhaps a post for another day. A day after I’ve been to the Londis. But what is on the door? … ah, that I’m about to (real) reveal. In principal I don’t really like things on fridges. But in reality I have no office, no pin board, and I work at the little yellow Formica table in the kitchen. So the fridge is what I glance up at, and it’s a place of inspiration, reminders and, er, stuff I don’t want to lose. You ready?

It started just with the lady in the middle…

She’s my inspiration for practical Spring 2013 daywear. I’m typing this in a knitted fruit turban, so that one paid off…

More inspiration. A postcard that just fell out of a book. It’s of The Minack Theatre, west Cornwall, a place where I watched many plays and was in some too, as a child. The most beautiful theatre in the world. And look at the colours of the sea, and the pink thrift.

A cutting from the Cornishman, illustrious paper of my home town. It’s all about a dispute over whether St Ives town council should put up a plaque commemorating the hippies that they tried to run out of town in the 60s.

An image entitled “The Madame Hadley School of Dance’s at Streatham Baths, 1935.” Food for thought…

And lastly a quote from an article about some lab where they store washed up whales. They weighed the dust! So that, and a flyer for a local sash window company, is what lives on my fridge. Possibly more revealing than the contents of my handbag. What’s on yours?

    Don’t really like frig. magnets but absolutely couldn’t resist the pink one with the Louise Bourgeois quote: “Art is a Guaranty of Sanity” Also a Celia Birtwell undie clad woman with a set of 5 outfits. I change her look regularly depending on how I am feeling.
