Part 3: Where I shopped and what I bought...

I should admit, I was nervous when Mr. Plushkin said: Today we are going to Liberty of London shop! It's been my dream to see this fascinating building and walk through all 4 levels of prettiness..... 
The building is as stunning in life as on the picture! I was so overwhelmed when I came in and saw all the rolls of fabric and craft supplies that after a half an hour of walking around oohing and aahing, I decided to go home and think which fabric I need the most as it's just SO much of it there! 

Liberty shop

We came back a week later and here is my little bundle that I just love! 

New Liberty fabric

In Bath, we found a few craft shops tucked away in little streets like this one "Country Threads" that is a lovely shop with some great fabrics to choose from.

I had fun browsing through their sale basket and Christmas fabric collection. There were also so many ribbons that it was very hard to choose so I stopped on this one with hearts. 

little stash

Cath Kidston store in Bath is a great one to walk around with so many great items in her signature flowery pattern. I picked some oil cloth with polka dots and those buttons are too cute to use so I'll keep them for now:)

On the last day of our journey, we found great shop called Tikki Patchwork in Kew Gardens, West London. I didn't take the picture of it but here is a link to their website if you ever in this area it's worth visiting it! I bought some fabrics with my new elephants in mind:)

These are the highlights of my England fabric shopping adventure!

Sunday Stash....#42

New Liberty fabrics

As promised, here are my new Liberty fabrics. I especially love the one with the owls, so pretty. 
I initially went shopping for hues of blue....

Blues

There were a few enquiries for the customized crochet baskets with blue. Somehow there were none in my stash. I am quite happy with this selection. There is still a little bit of pink in the bottom one, blue/grey and pretty blue will, hopefully, suit every taste.

Pinks

Hot pink that I used for the bunny, pale pink for the bias tape and awesome spotty one all have their project. That was the most successful shopping trip - everything allocated to its toy or basket! 

Have a fabulous Sunday!

"One summer dream"

Inspired by Liberty fabric, bright crochet flowers and colourful summer fashion, I created "One summer dream" headbands collection.

Large ones for adults and little ones for newborns and toddles....


You can see more pictures here. They will be available in my Etsy shop later today.

Have a sunny Saturday!
