Another weekend has come and gone. Overall, i had a wonderful weekend working away and i even had the pleasure of meeting a reader at a local Bazaar i never knew was out there reading. I really appreciate those of you stopping by my little bubble space here.
Recently i found a local online fabric shop, Fabric Fanatics, by Kelly and was so happy i did that i went to visit her table at the local I love Bazaar. All of her fabrics are beautiful and adorable, i have a hard time deciding on a favorite. oh, and the kicker for me was, i basically got to chat with her for a bit and scored some fabrics loveliness. I don't know about you but i think fabrics are additive. Sometimes i wonder if my obsession is a kind of sickness. I just can’t stand the thought of not having anymore fabrics.
Seeing these amazing fabrics, handmade items and the artist in one place (my city!) just make my eyes glaze over. Here are some closeup shots of her table. Her fabrics were a big hit.
I'm heading back to work...Christmas is only a couple of weeks away and i've got some sewing to do. I can feel the stress starting to build a little.
Hope you had yourself a nice weekend.
More soon, friends
Keep warm and love to you!
Thank you so much!!!
Love love love reading your blog and your photography. My little booth looks so pretty when you took these shot at a nice angle. hehe.
Hope to see you craft up something from the fabrics you bought. Don't just keep them. ^__^
p/s : and a little credit back to the talented local crafter Tako, the Audrey doll was made by her. :)
I use it to decorate my little space.

Looks like a fun bazaar! I love all the great treasures you shared. Your stack of fabric are gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you turn them into. Um yes, I'm addicted to fabrics too. Some are just too gorgeous to pass up. Imagine all the fabulous things we can make with our addictive fabric obsessions!

Oh, yes I also love beautiful fabrics! I don't sew a lot but I'm always inspired by their colours, patterns and texture! Kelly's table looks so lovely, you really made beautiful shots of it!
It's so nice to hear that your hubby is in Hamburg and that you are familiar with the German tradtions! If you'd ever want to visit also the South of Germany I would be really pleased to meet you :-) And the little angel wings are waiting for you ;-)
Love to you
Bea

love the russian matrichka dolls- or nesting dolls- I grew up with several sets that I really played with so it always brings back fond memories!

I wish I could be there with you enjoying those amazing fabrics. I don't sew as often as I wish but I love fabrics, too. Since my granddaughter was born I am getting back to my sewing machine and the beautiful fabrics. Thank you so much for sharing and for stopping by my blog. I'll be writing something next Friday..I am receiving so many beautiful ornaments and I have to share them with my amazing readers. have a lovely week!

Love all the images of the fabrics and dolls! I have been sewing some lately & would love some pretty, cute fabrics to add to my little stash! I love vintage buttons too, but those fabric ones are pretty cute! xo Theresa

i just love all of those fabrics and colors too! i wish we lived closer, i have two gigantic tupperware bins full of fabric from when i was playing with making and embellishing t-shirts and bags. i don't know what to do with all of it now and am certain someone can make much better use of it all than me.
can't wait to see your new creations! have a lovely rest of your week!
xoxo, juliette

I only sew once or twice a year and I'm still drawn to fabric... there is something so pleasant about being surrounded by patterns like this.
Those dolls and buttons are beautiful!
