Another Clue: 70s Floral Fabric

Our 70s shoebox was sold in 2008 and again in 2010. It seems that each time the house was "renovated" before going on the market by removing (or painting over) the original 70s features. Enough remains for us to love the place as it is, and we can restore some of the obscured features. But we take great pleasure in finding clues to other features that have been removed completely. Last week I mentioned some orange tiles we found in the garden. Here is another garden find. Two in fact.


The first square of yellow, floral fabric turned up in the back garden in August. I washed it and photographed it, and then threw it away. The second turned up in the side garden last week.


Judging by the width the two pieces of fabric must have belonged to a pillow-case: a clue to the original colour-scheme in the bedrooms?
