so sewfisticated!

one of our favorite pastimes is looking at fabric...
we can spend hours online searching through all the fabric sites...
we can't get enough!
last fall, sewfisticated fabrics opened in framingham...
sort of in the ghetto area...
but that is what makes it so exciting to go there!

 it's like the tj maxx of fabric stores...
designer fabrics and trims at deep, deep discounts!

let's take a look...shall we?

amy butler, joel dewberry and valerie wells...$4.99 a yard!

and if that wasn't enough to make you jump in your car and start driving to framingham....
can you spy thomas paul for a mere $4.99 a yard?
how could you not buy at least just one yard of each just for kicks?
dec pillows, dining chairs, grandma's wingback...can you stand it? $4.99?

and end of the bolt fabrics are just $1.99 a yard...what?
yeah, you heard us...$1.99...more thomas paul...just $1.99!
inventory changes everyday...
so if you see it and you love it...you must buy it!
we will see you there!

flowering plants...please!

Here in the Boston area we seem to be living in a real life snow globe...just when we're done shoveling out,  a new blizzard comes to town...

Buzzing through TJ Maxx yesterday I came across these great chunky grey planter baskets in the clearance aisle.   I had visions of Spring and all the pretty flowering plants I could plop in them...and at $3.50 to $5.00...why not?  They'd also be a great added touch to a housewarming or hostess gift, instead of just a plain old plant.  Plenty left...go get em!
