Table fashion! We use only cloth napkins at my house, partly because it's eco-friendly but mostly because I grew up with them and like the way they dress up an everyday meal. I have always loved to decorate a table with colorful place mats, tablecloths, napkins and funky napkin holders. No special occasion necessary! I have plain white plates and simple flatware but tons of pretty trappings to put around them. (And yes this could be just another excuse to surround myself with fabric) LOL :-)
LOL What do we collect? Now that's got me jumping up and down with excitement. We both have many collections but you can see one of them on my Babushka-Matryoshka-Russian Dolls Blog... well part of it anyway I'm trying to put a photo up each day for one year! http://babushkamatroushka.blogspot.com/ Maybe I should put photos up of our other collections of Dinky Toys, Lilliput Lane Houses, Green bottles, Pill boxes, London Transport Signs or the Pewter on my personal Blog. We never knew we were collectors till all of a sudden our home started to bulge LOL
I was enjoying seeing all of the collections, and marveled at the beautiful blue bottles....oddly, they looked just like my collection of blue bottles! Ha ha, that *is* my collection! Thanks for the laugh, Sue!
Travel is an exciting & large part of my life, combined with creating fabric, stitching art quilts & enjoying textile traditions around the world.
I work in the quilting industry; exhibit, judge, curate, tutor & write.
These are some of the threads of my life.
You mean besides fabric?
