California Key West Cottage Turquoise Red Chartreuse VTG Barkcloth Drape Curtain Welcome to Florida Bungalow...where vintage Floridian meets cottage glamor...a place where old souls come to rest easy for a while on my front porch with iced tea and a rusty old glider swinging into the sunset chattin...reminiscing bout the old days...appreciating the beauty and joys you must search to find in life everyday...a sanctuary where I thrive on the joys I create for myself every day...a bungalow surrounded by pickets and palms...a postage stamp parcel where as soon as the gate closes behind...you are in a world all its own...a place like no other since 1940 Florida...with a twist of my Jersey roots...bottled and preserved old Florida goodness that is sure to tug many heart strings...Florida Bungalow...it\'s not just a name...it\'s a lifestyle! Product DescriptionIf you\'re not following my Florida Bungalow page on Facebook...then you are missing some hot news! Florida Bungalow just aquired the collection of Michele Mancini, author of the popular book \"Fabulous Fabrics of the 30\'s 40\'s & 50\'s\"...Michele is the original founder of Full Swing Fabrics...from her historic storefront and home on iconic Thames Street in Newport Rhode Island...I was honored to move mountains when Michele contacted me more than a year ago to let me know she was interested in selling her beloved archived collection...and with a couple airline flights and a key to a uhaul I traveled to Newport and hauled a truck load of period fabrics dating back to the 1920\'s and some even earlier...mostly tropical and cottage prints from the 30\'s 40\'s and 50\'s...bolts and alotta chatch! It is an honor to know other fellow old vintage cotton souls like myself...and especially connect with them...there are so few of us on this planet...so to actually have the opportunity to see Michele and her collection, her works and her many editorials in magazines across the country...so it is with good fortune and gratefulness that over the coming days, weeks, months and years, I will be introducing many of Michele\'s precious stash that was just released from her vintage period fabric time capsule...into the loving care of my Florida Bungalow!
There comes a time that the availability of these treasured barkcloths are so diminished...the inventory of what\'s out there so tapped into that the scarcity of ever finding something so spectacularly fabulous...is about as rare as being eaten by a shark :) I have hundreds of thousands of pieces in my collection...and this rare opportunity is probably one of my most valuable...I am one of those that believes in investments...and this one is a great investment! I think in a not so distant future as the hoards of these vintage fabrics diminish...that you will be seeing a single drapery panel going for thousands of dollars...and until then I am keeping my treasured black tropical draperies in my Florida Bungalow where they can continue to enrich my life until that day two tropical hearts collide...and I am able to let go of this amazing never to found again opportunity...these are the draperies you build a house around...and design spaces for...those who get it...will be the rightful owner of these stellar collectible beauties!

This sale is for ONE ready to hang drapery panel AND I have 3 more you can buy!!!! Imagine that...this crisp and unfaded darkest black ground is the host to the most fabulous array of tropical colors...it is always this exact color mixture that gets my old soul all orgasmic on me...those caribbean blue green turquoises on black are romancing me as I have this textured icon right in front of me...combined with a pretty true red...possibly with a slight maroon to it...coral pink...deepest dark chocolate raisin...shades of grays...chartreuse yellow...with a palest hint of creamy jade green as a accent...a art deco brush fringe outlines the outer and bottom edges...with a rod pocket at the top...these are made almost as if they were portieres inside a home...this panel is lined and as you can see from my pictures...very well made...you can imagine what Art Deco Miami Beach style home they must have spent a good portion of their lives...these valuable commodities are part of the Michele Mancini Collection (author Fabulous Fabrics of the 20\'s 30\'s 40\'s 50\'s)...where they hung neatly in her archive room of her Newport, Rhode Island storefront where she founded \"Full Swing Fabrics\"...so they are even more special as a result of that prestigious history!
