Great Finds
I had quite the adventure yesterday.
Twice a year a fabric warehouse/store

holds their fabric by the pound sale.
It is a bit of a ride away from our home and
we haven't always been able to attend.
Early Monday morning we were able
to go to this sale. I had in mind particular
patterns and coloring that I hoped to find.

My daughter basically chose anything that
caught her eye! It was almost overwhelming
 |
| these two florals may serve as slip covers |
in the very beginning. We arrived and there
was already a line waiting for the store to open.
As you enter they give you a large plastic bag- I think
I could fit myself in it (I am 5'3).
Bolt after bolt of fabric line the warehouse walls.
piles of cut fabric are in aisles in the center -

| initially I pulled out this red fabric for a friend - but I ended up taking some for myself - I love this floral fabric - |
area rugs and small carpets are piled here and there.
There's a table with fabric trimming and barrels

with ribbon and assorted remnants.
Each woman grabs whatever bolt she likes -
a lot of them grab several - lug these bolts around
in their giant bags and then sort through them
 |
| These delightful creatures remind me of Beatrix Potter |
to see if they truly want what they've chosen.
Others are digging their way through the
 |
| My daughter found this fabric - I was soo happy! |
fabric piles to find that special piece.
There is an element of the thrill of the hunt!
 |
| can anyone have too much toile? |
My daughter and I were on a timetable -
she had a class to attend that afternoon -
which was another long journey away.
Well, we managed - I didn't exactly get
the fabrics I imagined - but, what I did find I am
well pleased with.
Thank you for stopping by! If you have any ideas for
uses for these fabrics - I'd appreciate your input!

White Wednesday
 |
| I was about to wrap up our shopping adventure when I looked over at one of the barrels. This lace panel was peeping over the side. It was either a curtain or a shower curtain with three rows of this lovely lace. |
 |
| There were rolls and rolls of trim - these seemed neutral enough to go along with just about anything. The chair the fabric and trim are resting on is a candidate for a slip cover. |
