A few years ago I saw many friends collecting vintage - fabrics, papers, books. I thought because I did not have opportunities to attend flea markets or to go to this kind of shop I did not have opportunities for this kind of collecting. I did know that there were some antiquish kind of things in the very farm home where I grew up. However I was not aware of the extend of the possibilities until I started asking, until I started snooping. AH - treasure found. There were fabrics. There were papers. There were books. I am so fortunate. And I have started to find other opportunities. They are there.
Just a few days ago my friend
Sherry introduced me to the art of
Cath Kidston. I had not been aware. Ummm - exactly the kind of fabrics and styles and ideas I love.
From the book
Cath Kidston's In Print:
And just a couple of examples of the lovely fabrics I have in my possession or very close at hand.
As I listen to
Canada for Haiti ~ finding beauty in this time of sadness, finding beauty in this time of hope.
