Friday's weather was perfect, and the fabrics we saw were beautiful. I find myself repeating this statement every time I lead a tour. Yes, I bought some fabric of my own, and the others found equally beautiful things... Sigh...

What is this photo? It represents about as close as you can reasonably hope to get to this place for a photo, but look at their website for store photos - the wrinkled white banner announces the location, as it is currently obscured by scaffolding. Think I'm kidding about the no photo policy? Just try to get a photo ... I dare ya... and report back (if you live to tell). |
