Bina does the very important job of guarding the door at The Cambridge Fabric Company. She’s a slightly feisty cockerpoo but she did let me in. We painted Rachel’s bedroom during lockdown (end of first one??) and ordered in some fabric swatches for curtains based on the website and looking through the window. Nothing really took my fancy so I went in to look in their magic samples books as soon as the shops reopened. By the time the swatches arrived the shops had closed again and my potential favourite didn’t come at all. Anyway today I went on a mission, looked again at the shop sample and ordered the curtains before I change my mind/lockdown 4 starts.
Weather: sweaty and overcast with a very hot sun when it broke through.
Covid: vaccines opened to 25 and over, Adam just one step away....
Good thing: the lady in the fabric shop suddenly stepped away from me and then announced that I smelled fantastic which was an unexpectedly good outcome (Jo Malone Jasmine, Sambac and Marigold if you’re wondering!) I’m off to get Adam from half way down the M11 - looking forward to having him back for a few days - it still seems odd that it’s allowed!
Bina looks like she takes her job very seriously. Cute shot!
I’m going to check out that fragrance. I’m always on the lookout for new scents. A compliment is the best review.
Great shot! I would love to go in and browse in this shop. I absolutely love fabric and have been sewing forever. And the blue dots/squares in the doorway are just the color of what I want for table runners for a party we are having.
@peggysirk I veer to the Rose based ones myself but Nigel changed it up a bit on the last airport trip he did - speaking of which - I’d better make it last 😂.
@busylady it’s near the Arts Theatre, between the two Aromis & opposite where Jamie’s was (now Giggling Squid). Not just furnishing fabric- they do light weight cottons and quilting fat quarters etc. Not a massive range (Backstitch at Burwash Manor or Sew Creative have more quilting fabrics) but very nice!
