I want to marry a lighthouse keeper and live by the side of the sea I want to marry a lighthouse keeper and keep him company So if you want to make my dreams come true be a lighthouse keeper, do! We could live in a lighthouse - a white one by the bay hey hey, I hope that'll be ok ... so sang Erica Eigen (featured in the soundtrack to Clockwork Orange). When I was growing up, I didn't just want to live in a lighthouse, I wanted that lighthouse to be on an island... it's a fantasy I've never quite outgrown. This design is a tribute to Troubridge Lighthouse, perched precariously atop a shifting shoal, every year getting closer to the sea. It's blinking light has marked more new year's eves for me than any other scene. One of the last two manual lighthouses operating in Australia, it has now been decommissioned completely, but out there in the cold and windy gulf my childhood dreams live on... This design fits on a fat quarter of any of the wider fabrics such as linen cotton and eco canvas. bippidii boppidii designs may be used for making items for resale.
