Club queen on the downtown scene

Prowling around at night

You're not mean, you're just born to be seen

Born to be wild

A little party never hurt no one, that's why it's alright

You want in but you just can't win

So you hang in the lights

 

You're so Art Deco, out on the floor

Shining like gun metal, cold and unsure

Baby, you're so ghetto

You're looking to score

When they all say hello

You try to ignore them

Cause you want more (why?)

You want more (why?)

You want more (why?)

Cause you want more

 

Young thing on the downtown scene

Rolling around at night

Got things, that have yet to be seen

Like your rapper's delight

A little party never hurt no one, that's why it's alright

You want in, but you just can't win

So you stay in the lights

 

You're so Art Deco, out on the floor

Shining like gun metal, cold and unsure

Baby, you're so ghetto

You're looking to score

When they all say hello

You try to ignore them

Cause you want more (why?)

You want more (why?)

You want more (why?)

Cause you want more

 

A little party never hurt no one

So you stay out late

A little party never hurt no one

That's what your friends say

You put your life out on the line

You're crazy all the time

Put your life out on the line

You're crazy all the time

 

You're so Art Deco, out on the floor

Shining like gun metal, cold and unsure

Baby, you're so ghetto

You're looking to score

When they all say hello

You try to ignore them

Cause you want more (why?)

You want more (why?)

You want more (why?)

Cause you want more

 

A little party never hurt no one

Not you and me

A little party never hurt no one

We were born to be free

 

When it was last my birthday, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.

 

Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. This time the bobbin, satin ribbon and vintage 1930s embroidered Art Deco floral ribbon were already mine. However, the pretty and rather funny Art Deco graphic of two birds carrying away a wee turtle is the top of a French button card featuring four blue Bakelite buttons, and that came from my friend at Christmas time. I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered doily with a Dewhurst's Sylko Bitter Lime green reel of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954 and a matching lime green reel from J. P. Coats.

 

Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

 

In 1802 James Coats set up a weaving business in Paisley. In 1826 he opened a cotton mill at Ferguslie to produce his own thread and, when he retired in 1830, his sons, James & Peter, took up the business under the name of J. & P. Coats. In 1952 J. & P. Coats and the Clark Thread Co. merged to become Coats & Clark's. Today, the business is known as the Coats Group.

Saltdean Lido - still undergoing restorations

see: esmadrid.com › en › nightlife › casino-gran

 

This Casino is located in the heart of the Gran Vía in a luxury art decó building built between 1919 and 1924, which used to be the headquarters of the Trade and Industrial Circle, and which has been declared Artistic Heritage.

 

The same building also houses the Hotel Círculo Gran Vía, partially renovated in 2017 and exclusively for adults, the only Hotel Casino in Madrid.

1930s Art Deco building in Bloomsbury

Definitely last of the subway pics for a while, Swiss Cottage, for me evoking strong memories of living in NW London as a 10 year and riding the tube network with friends for entertainment! Definitely bygone days.....

An old theatre, sadly now burned down

(1931) Art Déco - New Gothic building

The Beresford.

Everyone's favourite bit of Glasgow Art Deco.

A nice surprise to find this beautiful Art Deco building in Cleethorpes. It is (or was? It was certainly closed as we went past) a furniture store called Twinkles Uniques (I think)

(1936) Racionalist & Artdeco. The first building constructed with concrete in South America.
