London crafty

Dear Shayne,

On top of planning our wedding (only 16 days!) and caring for our sick kitty, I have also been traveling quite a bit this year (hence the light posting in these parts).

One place I went was to London. I didn't have much time there, but I just had to go to Liberty because their fabrics are drool-worthy. The designs are lovely and the cotton just feels like a dream.

(Edited to add this photo of Liberty that I just realized I took with my small camera...)


Plus, they were having a big sale when I went. What luck! So, I bought some fabric...

I couldn't resist this one, since our wedding colors are red and white:


I was so happy to find this one, because it can be difficult to find good greyscale cottons:


The flowers on this one are a larger scale than the others (and do you think I could have pressed this fabric before taking a photo of it? Sheesh.)


And these last two are the same print, in different colors. I could not decide which one to get, so I bought both. Heh.




I thought I was done there, but then I found these amazing rolls of gorgeous wool and I just had to have them:


It was difficult to get out of there with just these items. There were so many other amazing crafty things there -- lovely notions, ribbons, buttons, books, etc. If you are in London, you must go to Liberty. It's a bit of a splurge, I will admit, but it's Liberty! It's London!

love,
kelly
