A woman showed up to my tent at Mount Dora's Extravaganza 10 years ago and found this fabric in my stash...she grabbed it and started to cry...she held it close and thought of her sweet mama who had this fabric in her 50's mid century living room...she could barely get the words out...I asked to three times what she said as I hugged her...she was so overcome with sadness from the nostalgia of finding something so closely related to her mother...we had a moment...I was crying...she was crying...we were a big ole mess...then out of no where she screamed "JIFFY POP"...and I was like SHOOOWHAT? She said "JIFFY POP"...the words she was trying to get out through her tears was "JIFFY POP"...she explained that was what everyone called her mothers draperies...the silver metallic a ode to Jiffy Pop invented in the 50's...she would have slumber parties with her girlfriends and they would laugh at her mothers modern metallic silver draperies...to this day I see "JIFFY POP" in this pattern and colorway...you can't unsee it once you have been shown it :)
This offering is for ONE YARD x 49 inches wide of unused premium mid century barkcloth...never used original old stock. I have SIX YARDS available sold by the yard. This might possibly be the last chance you’ll ever have to own this stuff...I think I’m the only one on earth who has it. It has the most extraordinary colorway that exudes a swank Miami Beach aesthetic...you can certainly imagine it in a South Beach apartment circa 1955!! Sophisticated mid century...a extraordinary take on modernism that was sweeping america in the 50's...flamingo pink...avocado...pastel aqua blue green...the color of a Estée Lauder perfume box ;)...dark charcoal...silver metallic and black accents on a creamy white. Just pure exceptionalism...thick and nubby highly textured barkcloth...with a whole history of mid century that comes along with it...if you are a mid century kindred spirit...then you will be romanced and smitten with the goodness of this amazing treasure...hails from the 1950's...is highly textured and in mint condition...as if you ran to the Five and Dime on Main Street some 65 years ago to grab some yardage from the notions department...yes my dear friends we love to time travel here at Florida Bungalow...where all one has to do is simply sit back on a subtly rocking porch glider on a breezy warm night...close your eyes...click your heels three times and VOILA...you can transport yourself anywhere you choose...
