Saturday Art Saves: Platanitis

Each Saturday I focus on a different artist that I admire. From potters to painters, chefs to collectors, seamstress to songwriters, lifestyle to lovers… anyone who set the paintbrush, pastry brush, hands and heart on fire to create.

Those who inspire art to flow where it may.

I discovered Garret when I was back home in my Mother's and her partner Holly's shop. They had Garret's handpicked softened and treated vintage men's flannel work shirts. If you feel one of Garret's creations you will have to have one… or two.

How many shades of pastels are in an Easter bouquet?
Garret finds the best shades of vintage flannel work shirts, that it is nearly impossible to pick just one to take home.
Mine wass lavender with cream and pink. And softer than a baby's bottom.

The art of collecting.

The art of the brocante bug.

The art of putting it together just so

that it seems inspiringly fresh.

The art of living with old things.

Garret has that artful touch.

    The colours so lush. The fabrics so touchable. One just wants to wrap oneself in a dozen of these shirts. It would be like wrapping yourself in love. Virginia

    Apart from the shirts (I would like one of each), the chairs, the chairs. I wish I could throw everything out of my house and start all over again with all the lovely flea market/brocante/beautiful things I see all the time on the intenet. (sigh)

  7. How exciting — a shop in my area. I look forward to seeing those beautiful things in person.

    Help…I called Treasure Trove and they said you came and picked up the shirts. Tell me they are not gone forever. My heart lept when I saw your picture of them. I would love to buy a few. They are just my style and I have used up my supply of flannels.
