It's that time again Monday Show and Tell and Handmade Monday, where does the week go? Not much creating this week more visiting my favourite fabric shop in Sturminster Newton, Hansons Fabrics and Craft, pure bliss if you love all things sewing, wall to wall fabric, lace, beads and more and the journey through the New Forest was fun as well, all the ponies.

& just in case
So as not to upset Lee (DH) on to Frome (Froom) for him to visit his favourite 60's record collectors shop 'Raves from the Graves' nestled up a small street with a stream running down the middle. I enjoyed some cinnamon toast and coffee whilst waiting.
and finally a Marie Antoinette decorative cushion, with handmade organza roses and leaves, filled with fibrefill and pose pot pourri and must not forget the Swarovski crystals to pin up her skirt.
Marie Lace and Crystal necklace, machined lace centre, topped with Swarovski crystals, flowers, satin bow, crystal embedded heart with satin and organza cording.

ReplyDeleteFabrics are nice, nudges me into thinking I really must renew some chair covers. Interesting link to Hansons - sounds brilliant for courses but surprised there isn't an online shop? Especially after being tempted with your pics.
ReplyDeleteI was in Frome a few weeks ago at a Craft Fair and visited the street with the water running through the middle. Haven't been to Sturminster Newton for almost two decades!!
ReplyDeleteGR8 trip down memory lane for me.
