Why I shop where I Shop - I like a bargain!

I didn't realise Textile Traders was purely a WA establishment, that the Eastern states don't have them - a win for the most isolated city in the world!
I've been known to take advantage of the TT 'Buy 2 get 1 Free' sales in the past however not on the scale I did this week.
 I've got plans for skirts, lots of skirt, lots of different skirts...and frocks!

The trouble with Textile Traders is that Spotlight is never far away - usually just around the next corner. Spotlight doesn't have the sales that TT does, however they have the groovy bias binding that TT doesn't. 
Not this time though, instead I found more fabric and this panel - $5!
 I didn't realise how big the teapot was until I got home and unfolded her - she is soooo going in a skirt.

I seem to have been spending alot of time on Facebook recently, thanks to the canny Denise from Hot Possum - like I need another distraction Denise! 
There's some amazing stuff going on out there, in cyber world, like people selling fabric on-line - I know you knew that - it's me that takes a while to catch up.
  It was this fabric that caught my eye at Earthgirl Fabrics. I've lusted after it for awhile, having noticed in a boutiquey fabric shop I occasionally pop into.
 

 I purchased a few fabrics from Earthgirl and with free post as part of the deal I had a win.
I've always liked the saying, 'She who dies with the most fabric wins' but now I'm not sure my kids would see it that way.

Hope you found some bargains this week...

  4. Cherrie - I was referring to my leaving this mortal coil and them having to deal with the rooms full of fabric....the kids learnt to cook & enjoy toast years ago.

    Meg - they leave and come back - seems there's always room for more treasure however we live like sardines.

    Melissa - thanks and you too!.
