Flea market shopping

 

Well, the estate agent promised me, the lease should be with you next week...!

 
 

The flea market is on only every couple of months, so what's a girl to do!!

 

You're so right - go searching for shop fittings!!

 

So here's a couple of items I purchased today.

 

 

Fantastic decoupage display table, in vintage french fashion magazines.

How appropriate!


 

Gorgeous vintage french stackable metal chairs.

 

The rest of my purchases had no french connections!!



Birch Fabric Organic Cottons

 

Just arrived!!!

 
 

 

Birch Fabrics are such a high quality product.

They have great organic credentials, are lovely to work with and wash beautifully.

 

And there's more on the way!

 
 
 
 

I love this pre-printed quilt fabric, for time challenged people (like me!).

 

Just add wadding, backing fabric and binding.

A little stitching along straight lines and you're done!!

 



 

French Fabrics Coming!

A range of subtle prints from France

 

Here's a sample of what's coming!







 Lovely soft cottons in beautiful tones.

Hopefully, they should be with us in a few weeks.






 

Been Fabric Ordering!!

Japanese Fabrics Ordered!!

 

Here's a taste of what's coming

 

 

A little crazy?

 
 

A little mad!!

 
 

Just fun!

 
 

Call you when they arrive!!

 

The Bad news is, they won't be here until October :(

Time for some sewing...

 

Little Make up bag in Dena Designs Taza Medallion and lined in cotton poplin.

No make up though, just nice clean sample swatches!!

 

The pattern is from a really great tutorial:

In fact so good, I bought it to make more to sell in the shop (when I eventually see that tenancy agreement!!)
