I'll start with this:
I don't know if I can adequately convey the beauty of what we saw on Friday.
I met our intimate group at our starting point on Friday morning, and immediately explained our Speakeasy shopping strategy. Beautiful weather, our collective enthusiasm, and easy conversation created a solid, instant rapport. I shared some tips for navigating the district, negotiating with the salespeople, and the "speakeasy" elements of the stores we were to visit. Then I explained in detail, how I curated and organized the day's list of destinations. Some "bonus" destinations were added on based on specific requests at the end of our day. All in all, everyone had a ball... and I left the district tired and haunted by the fabrics I CANNOT bear not to purchase for myself. Is this an illness? Well, certainly not if I sew it all... Okay, so I have to sew it all or check into a mental hospital. So I'm whipping out the scissors and turning on the machine TONIGHT.
Clearly, I will need to return to the district to buy some of the things that are haunting me next week. Here is a small representation of the things that specifically called out to me:
  |
| Hello, Lover... The magical cotton weave above called my name, and reminds me of the artwork from the Ezra Jack Keats children's books, and it needs some of that blue leather to complement it... |
 |
| That fabric makes me feel like this... |
 |
| This one, I call a "drunken grid" - a cotton shirt weight fabric, begging me to take it home... |
At New York Elegant:
At Elliott Berman:
 |
| Silk - ya gotta feel it to believe it. |
 |
| Outta this world wool. |
 |
| More outta this world wool... |
 |
| I think I've met this fabric before, and I'm still in love. |
 |
| This says home dec in the most beautiful way... |
 |
| You have to see this for yourself. |
 |
| A digital print that is truly alive with color! |
