More drool worthy pictures. I always adore your the fabrics you display. Where do you buy them, so I can have them in my house to ease my drool?
ReplyDeleteAfter our long summer holiday, when my youngest son has settled into pre-school, I will be opening an Etsy shop, and sharing my fabric collection with anyone who wants to buy some...I'll let you know when! xx
