I'm feeling especially slow after reading karent's account of our trip, so I'm catching up a bit.
Early Monday morning we caught the Subway uptown for our special purpose - FABRIC SHOPPING!!! A quick breakfast and off we went. I made a pit stop and immediately lost Karen. Not the first time this has happened, sure it won't be the last. I found her, of course, at Moods. 
Shoulda looked there first, but I was low on caffine. I had a conference call I had to make while we were there, but still managed to do some credit card damage and brouse around while on the phone. I got a little carried away and stashed my stash before I photographed. I'll try to get them up tomorrow. The store is overwhelming! To imagine the PR folks running around this place with $50 and 30 minutes is mind-boggling! Even with a plan and a map, there's so much to see and it covers so much ground. 3 floors (I believe), floor to ceiling.

of course, was wonderful. He found stuff for us stashed everywhere. No clue how he found it. To add another yard into that place would require a shoe horn and oil can. But he just flitted around and pulled stuff out the piles. And even smiled for the photo-op.

I loved Pacific trims and I already regret my self restraint there. They have lovely stuff. And so much of it! I'm used to white eyelet ruffles at Hancock. I think I just went into shock somewhere. Karen held up much better, other than being weighed down with purchases. I toted a giant IKEA bag and she bought the last rolling suitcase from a tourist junk store. Then she just drug it along, bumbing up curbs. It took 2 of us at the subway stairs, but it made it!
Well, I'm off for dinner now. More later.
The comment about it gets kinda fuzzy from there made me smile...I have a phrase for it ~ fabric euphoria! There is just so much fabric in all kinds of fabrications, styles and colors that our creative souls just go into overload and we develop fabric euphoria. I try to warn people about it when I shop with them but I see you developed a pretty good case of it! :)
ReplyDeleteI like that phrase, I kind of feel like I lint in my head. I loved this and plan to return, probably in the early spring to pick out stuff for summer sewing. I really like Pacific Trims. And I NEED buttons. Really, I do.
