Did the shopping. Got some veggies. Stopped at the hardware store. Husband says... What's next? Thrift store, says I? Husband gave me the look. It's it time for fun, I said. I got another look. In I went, straight for the fabric. I did glance over to the collectibles and was momentarily caught by a lovely cake stand but to the fabric I went. I picked up some lovely decorator weight fabric for pillows or bags and some very nice yellow cotton print. I tried to see what the selvage said but they package it up in such a way that the selvage remains a mystery. Big warning notices tell the curious shopper not to open the packages!!!!! I followed the rules. Paid my money. Said no to a bag and off I went. I told husband. Got some nice fabric. He said, the yellow is nice. I said, I'm going to check the selvage. He said, what's the selvage? I said, the white part... OH FLEA MARKET FANCY!!!!!!!! I was giddy. I was faint. He thought I had lost my mind. I tried to explain that there are
blogs dedicated to this line of fabric and I had just found .85 metres of Denyse Schmidt's Flea Market Fancy at a thrift store!!!!!!!! For $1.50!!!!!!!!! Apparently my reaction was akin to having won the lottery. I did win! The fabric lottery!!! There you go... thrift store score.
My giddiness was so extreme that I could not even focus at our next stop at one of the local quilt shop's customer appreciation sale. I went into the store with a funny look on my face. Wandered around and left with nothing!!!!! How could anything compare to this?
Husband said, what will you do with it? I actually admitted that I might just hoard it. Happily.
The photos are a little fuzzy. I think I was still shaking with glee.
sooo jealous!!!! What a great thrift shop. You hsould show your husband this,

That is too hilarious!!! Lucky you. I love to shop at thrift stores too but have never had a good fabric find like that.
