Houston calling

Hello from my second-favourite side of the pond! Today was a very exciting day at Market with Schoolhouse all day (a whole load of presentations by all sorts of people - designers, manufacturers and bloggers), followed by a reception thing (free cheese, that's all I'm saying), and then the madness of sample spree. Sample spree is taken very seriously, although I am not that sure why. Bearing in mind that the majority of people who are there can buy as much fabric as they like at wholesale prices, the hysteria seems a little unjustified. I, on the other hand, was completely justified in my hysteria. I may have got a little carried away, but I will leave it up to you to judge (sorry about the appalling photo - it's dark).

I'm so excited with the pearl bracelet bundle, although I did have to immediately open it and reorder the fabrics correctly. They had put the orange next to the green. Shudder.

all better now

And this is my haul of freebies which I plan on adding to tomorrow. I have about a million tote bags, but they are not exciting enough to feature. And there is a special something for Pennie, but that's so gorgeous that I don't want to spoil the surprise. Hehehehe. 

Oh, and the most exciting thing that happened all day was walking past Anna Maria Horner while wearing my washi dress, and her saying "nice dress!" I managed to respond with "nice fabric!" which I thought was pretty coherent, given that my brain had immediately melted and dribbled out of my left ear. It's pretty surreal being here, I have to say.
