dandies – conway stewart candies in azure and claret

Posted on 1 February 2010 by lady dandelion

When I had found the Conway Stewart Duro photos I remembered that I also took  some Dandy photos, which are not of the same quality as the photos of the Duros, but I think the dandies magnificent colours show. All this browsing through my CS photos made me decide upon a new Dandy (these are also since long gone) and I actually have a Dandy on its way to me as I write. The blue/lilac patterned is Azure and the red is Classic Claret. It is a pity that Conway Stewart has ceased to have the Dandy in their regular stock.

colourful backyard

Posted on 1 February 2010 by lady dandelion

Some snapshots from my backyard. This is a modern church and bell tower – both built in the 1950’s. I think it manages to combine modern and traditional in a very pleasing way and I really love the weather board with its texture combined with the warm red colour.

The red colour is the traditional Swedish iron oxid paint that brightens up our country side (this is not in the country side – only a big park).
