It holds a special place in my heart because my given middle name (before I was married) was Ashley, making me Laura Ashley! My parents SWEAR they didn't know about the brand until after I was born. . . although my mom was a big fan of their drapery and bedding collections, and I definitely had a pink-and-white-floral bedroom from age 10 until high school. (I loved it, too, by the way. So girly!) <br /><br />This past year for my birthday, my mom gave me (as a joke) a copy of Laura Ashley's Complete Guide to Home Decorating, published in 1989. She found it at a thrift store for 75 cents. It's like a time capsule! Really takes me back. Loooooots of ruffles! Maybe I'll post some photos. . .Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07351031183960975188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-35542350189183056992010-02-24T16:46:57.092-05:002010-02-24T16:46:57.092-05:00Not at all what I expect from Laura Ashley!

Overall-esque, with billowy legs, buttons up the front and a fabric tie on each pocket in the front. <br /><br />My mom bought all the "poppy" fabric to make me a Laura Ashley quilt, because we couldn't afford to buy the pre-made one at the time. I still have the squares, promising myself that one day I will finish that quilt! ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the blast from the past. <br />ABCDABC Dragoohttp://www.abcddesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-79963623285553501502010-02-23T17:08:56.870-05:002010-02-23T17:08:56.870-05:00I love that fabric!

My 8th grade graduation dress was quite the number, with giant flowers that looked better on a 1950's couch than it did on me. And don't get me started on the bedding! It adorned my bed in college all four years. http://journeychic.com/2009/09/28/dorm-style-my-freshman-room-revisited/Laura@JourneyChichttp://journeychic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643332223539296916.post-42611694890186140462010-02-23T15:42:14.973-05:002010-02-23T15:42:14.973-05:00I have been loving ikat for awhile and these fabri...I have been loving ikat for awhile and these fabrics are amazing, it doesn't surprise me to see Laura Ashley is making a coming back especially since floral prints have been hot in the fashion world for a few years now.
