Sanderson Wallpaper.

If I had the guts, I'd wallpaper one wall in every room of my house in some awesome, bold design. Each room would revolve around that one print. The paint on the rest of the walls would reflect the print of choice. And if the room was small enough, the whole thing would get covered in the beautiful design.
But alas, I don't have the guts, so I'm left dreaming of wallpaper and thinking about the what ifs.

I found some new designs from wallpaper and fabric UK company Sanderson yesterday.
These are the design that make me smile... When you click on each print option though, there are different color combinations throughout the site. Enjoy!

Highlights from the brand new reissued 1950's designs of wallpaper and fabrics...

Black backdrops that I LOVE! Perfect for a small bathroom or a closet. Or a whole wall if you dare.

More that make me really happy...

Gee’s Bend is a small rural community nestled into a curve in the Alabama River southwest of Selma, Alabama. After the Civil War, the freed slaves of Gee’s Bend founded an all-black community nearly isolated from the surrounding world.

The town’s women developed a distinctive, bold, and sophisticated quilting style based on traditional American (and African-American) quilts, but with a geometric simplicity reminiscent of Amish quilts and modern art. The women of Gee’s Bend passed their skills and aesthetic down through at least six generations to the present.

Make Me A Linked Mixtape: Number Four

Wow! It's been far too long since I made one of these.... The holidays really put Afterschool Oxford on hold in more areas than I'd like to admit. But enough of the chatter... Let's get to it.


For those of you new to Afterschool Oxford, Make Me A Linked Mixtape is where, once a week, I give you links to older music that you may or may not have heard in the past, still influencing music today. Mostly from the 90's and early 00's and mostly from the underground indie rock/ punk rock genre.  Some songs are from records in the last few years, but by bands that have been around for much longer than that, for example Yo La Tengo. The song I put in the mix today is from 2006, but the band has been making beautiful music since 1984.


Linked Mixtape Number Four:
1. Boys Life
2. My Bloody Valentine
3. Moss Icon
4. Allen Clapp
5. Mineral
6. Texas Is The Reason
7.  Yo La Tengo
8. The Swirlies
9. Unrest
10. Her Space Holiday

Let me know what you think.... find some new music that you like and what to hear more of?

****Personal sidenote: I am feeling so sluggish these past few weeks... dragging my feet back to work. I have been sick, so that is the main reason for the slow days and lack of even touching my computer really... BUT I am back to Amelia and ready to get the ball rolling on all things Afterschool Oxford related. Thanks for sticking with me and checking back often to see what's been going on. 

To take you into the weekend....

This has been making its way around the internet and with good reason...

I've been running a little slow this week since I'm still technically on vacation, so sorry I haven't been blogging much, if at all. I am still working on lots of fun new things for this here blog.... I'll be back in full swing by next Wednesday, the 19th. 
Amelia will be reopening then as well. Stop in and say hi! 


Until then....


PS... I guess I'm now an Aquarius. What's your new sign?
