In other words...
If you find yourself near the shoppe in the next few days be sure to stop in and say Happy Birthday to my Grammy!

Happy Birthday Anita

Delivery

Yippy! The first boxful of Japanese fabrics arrived today. We oohhhed and awed while Mom quickly pulled them out. Each print was just as special as the next.
I always love being in the shoppe with mom but especially when we get deliveries like these!
I just LOVE Japanese!!!

And I think Aelyn might like it too.

Here she is taking her pick of the bunch :)

Ummmmm, wow!

The delicious fabrics were barely out of their plastic before being cut off their bolts. Emily Westenhouser, an awesome customer and talented creator of Umbrella Girl Productions, took the first few tastes.

And of course I couldn't go home without taking some of these new goodies for myself!
Oh man, I can't wait to sew them up. I must make a dress for AV with that adorable little deer print. And this blue beauty (the matryoshka dolls, above) needs be my new summer bag, with red and white polka dots on the inside.... smile.... sigh....

Okay yeah....
.......so I'm a little fabric happy.

What more can I say.

Happy Travels Megan

Lots of LOVE and best wishes to you, Megan!

Our wonderful Megan is leaving us for the summer. Her full time job as a teacher allows her the summer to travel, so travel she will.

We'll miss you lots Megan! but we're also very happy for you. So have fun exploring and we'll see you when ya get home!

I'll shut up about it (after this).

Okay, I know we have already written two other posts about Market but it was our very first time and obviously left quite an impression.
So anyhow, I need to post this one last post and then I'll shut up about it.




Oh... Seven Islands! My very favorite booth. Seven Islands is an amazing wholesale supplier. Provider of Kokka, Echino, Heather Ross, Trefle... and the entirely wonderful world of Japanese fabrics and trims.
Mom and I had a great buying session with our lovely rep, Lisa. That's her up there, the second photo from the top, quickly scribbling our fabric order. We love you Lisa!!!
I can't wait to see these beauties arrive. I think they should be in later this month :)


Sadly, we missed Heather Ross. She had left just a few minutes earlier after signing her new book and showing her precious new line for Kokka "Far Far Away". However, we had a wonderful surprise waiting for us when we got home. Her new prints where waiting to be unwrapped and given their rightful place on our shelves!
