The weather continues to be mild… the sun is shifting…
The Garden Room positively glows in the morning — especially when so many golden leaves are still holding on outside. The amaryllis were brought up from the basement last weekend (on the square table, among other things), and there are already two with visible leaves! I think it’s a little late (oops!) to expect blooms at Christmas, but hey… I’ll take blooming flowers at any time this winter.
That sunlight also illuminated my breakfast on Saturday morning.
It was as delicious as it looks.
After work on Friday, I stopped at an estate sale that advertised “yarn galore” and “fabric galore.” I arrived a little after 4p and the sale had been going on since 9a… and there was still yarn & fabric galore. And it was the good stuff! So many kits, books, magazines. It was mind-boggling, really, and also a bit pricey for an estate sale (IMHO)… but it was quality stuff, organized & kept in excellent condition, so I get it. There wasn’t anything that I had to have. But everything under $50 was half-price on Saturday, so I went again.
The only yarn I was interested in, really, was some Rowan Felted Tweed… but I didn’t really need it, y’know? Luckily, it was gone by the time I arrived. There was still plenty of Kaffe Fassett fabric, though, and that’s what really caught my eye, and what I returned for. There’s my array — the cuts are all a yard or less. I have no plan.
I never wrote about my Jet-setter Birthday Trip to London two years ago… a few weeks after we returned from our epic island-hopping trip to Scotland (which I also never wrote about). The trip to London was quick — I flew over on Sunday, Oct. 30th & back on Thursday, Nov. 3rd. The main impetus for the trip was a show at the Fashion + Textile Museum, Kaffe Fassett: The Power of Pattern.
That’s a snippet of the main exhibit floor — pattern, indeed! Anyway, I think I might have a few fat quarters of KF fabric from a while back, and now I have more. Honestly, it just makes me happy to look at it! Instant mood-lifter.
Here’s a mood for ya, a text message from the other day…
Apparently, FU means the same thing as STOP! haha. Naturally, I reported it as junk. Just over a week of this to tolerate. Hang in there, y’all!!

I love your Kaffe Fassett fabric and your text message! You don’t even need a plan for the fabric; it makes me happy to look at it, too.
I love your Garden Room, Vicki! (And your rental, too.) Your artistic talent shines in all of it. Thanks for the glimpse!
Your garden room… what an oasis! And Kaffe fabric fun! But that floor at the exhibit… just wow!
What a fabulous fabric find! (I actually have a couple of those Kaffe’s in my own stash.) (Also with no plan whatsoever.) I love the light at this time of year. Everything is just bathed in gorgeousness. XO
That fabric is gorgeous, so rich in color, just like the light streaming into your garden room. And your response to tRump is perfect and just what I’d say, too!
