An excellent retailer in England for most of the fabrics mentioned in this post is Fabrics & Papers, they carry a wide range of designers for both fabric and wallpaper.
Just a note: I have compiled these fabric combinations working from images online so please forgive me if in reality they don't work as well together! Most shops are happy to provide swatches.

    These posts must take you ages Glenda.

    I love the shy blush pinks you have artfully arranged. Image no 2 really hits the spot, the curtains, the furniture, so heavenly. A girl NEEDS pink in her life somewhere. Now where can I squeeze some into our house!!

    Hi Glenda, the trees in my garden are Norway Maples ( acer platanoides globosum). Beautiful round form, and green leaves in early spring till the end of october.
    Hope you will find an iron stand for your dove feeder.
