Fabric Store Love

This past month my dear husband took me out on a little adventure/get away out to Columbus. I admit, I haven't done a lot of exploring in the city actually I am embarrassed to say that I can count on one hand how many times I have been there. I have heard a few things about this little fabric shop downtown and have been dreaming about going to check it out ever since. The shop is called "Sew To Speak." What a surprise to find that my husband planned a trip out to the shop. Even helped me pick out some lovely fabric for some future aprons. I can't say many husbands are as cool as that! Even though it is small, the shop lived up to my expectations! Good things do come in small packages!! I will be going back!




I could have spent all day looking through sewing books, patterns and admiring all of the beautiful fabrics. The endless things I would make with all of the fabric goodness!! Here are a few samples of the fabrics I purchased:




If you are ever in the Columbus area, you should stop in! It will not disappoint! Here is a link: Sew to Speak
They also have some amazing fabric listed in their online shop!

Day Dreaming

So today I accomplished something that only happens once and awhile. I got both babies fed and asleep for their nap at the same time! Now that I have some extra time on my hands, I should be loading my dishwasher, or sorting through all the mail I received while in Texas. But no, I figured that I needed to reward myself for a job well done. A few pieces of dark chocolate, from my secret stash. (Shhhh don't tell the hubby) and some virtual dream shopping.

When in Scotland 2 summers ago...(wow, can't believe that it's been 2 years already) I fell in love with Ness. A store that only lives in Scotland and no where else. They have a very unique plaid that is very feminine and fresh. I love it! I literally drug Tom in this very cutesy store a few times just to look at their clothing and accessories. In Europe everything is much more expensive. But he encouraged me to look around and pick something out that I would like. (I think by our third trip in the store that week he just wanted me to choose something and call it a day!) Seeing that we were there during my Birthday, I used all my fun money on an amazing hand bag. (That I still use, but it's very worn) Since then I have always told myself that if I ever go back to Scotland, I will go in that store and yet again pick out something amazing.
To my surprise this year, Ness has their own online store that now ships to the US! Do you think I can convince my husband to buy me something for my Birthday from Ness THIS YEAR?! ::raised eye brow:: Hmmmmmmm.........


Here is a sneak peek.
