Anatomy of a fridge door
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?
One day I might have a sleek plain fridge but for the time being it is the family pin board (appointments, Cy Twombley postcard, family photos, magnetic letters & words, connect 4 game, etc!) Have a photo but cant figure out how to attach it : (
Ah Maria, when you do we’ll be delighted to get it – we were thinking of staring a fridge door gallery x
Great post – my fridge has all the party invitations (kids not mine sadly), appointment letters etc and a few inspiring postcards. We use magnets to attach and they regularly baulk under the weight of party invitations, sending everything flying to the floor (and under the fridge).
I am assuming you are recommending split to the navel, no knicker wearing dresses for this season – hmmm may need to make some adjustments to my spring wardrobe!
Yes I am! Got mine on now. Funny, my fridge door for a while had only pictures of looks I was planning to adopt. There’s a lovely Prada dress hidden under one of the postcards. Thanks for the comment x
Fantastic post
