Ding-dong!
Wow. The doorbell seemed to ring all day Friday. And not once did I open the door to find a magazine salesman or somebody wanting to squirt my porch with some amazing all natural rust, chewing gum and crayon (and everything else) remover.
First was FedEx with some books for Joey's computer networking class (Zzzzzzz....sorry, it's just not my thing). But things really got exciting when the UPS guy buzzed by with not 1, not 2, but 3!! boxes of fabric from Free Spirit!! My first batch of goods for my almost-here fabric store!!! I wiped back tears and lovingly pulled out each gorgeous bolt of Jennifer Paganelli's basics line and Tina Givens' Zazu line. Oh my precioussssss......
......But it wasn't over! The doorbell rang again and I looked through the peephole and saw the yellow DHL van bringing my new shoes! I fell in love with them at the local Nordstom (a big thank you to my mom and mother-in-law for having a vulcan mind-meld and each giving me a Nordstrom gift card for Christmas!) but had to have them sent from a California store because apparently there are few gals in Arizona with big feet like mine (humph). So comfortable and darn cute!
All in all, a good day!
Pretty fabric and I love the shoes. Just wondering is there any good bargain fabric to be found. I was shocked when I tried to go get some recently.

Those are really great looking shoes! especially love them in the red. sure didn't realize i had a vulcan mind meld but if it helped get those shoes i don't "mind" at all. glad you finally got all your wonderful fabric and bet it helped that joey got his books 1st to keep him sidetracked and calm

I didn't know you'll open a fabric store, what exciting news !!! Hope you'll ship to Europe, too. I'm always buying US fabrics in the US, since here in Germany they are VERY expensive. For 1 meter (that's 1.1 yard) we have to pay about $ 24.
Oh, and I LOVE the shoes ;O)
