Holy Cow(tan & Tout)!

Do you ever have one of those times when you discover something so much fun that you just want to jump up and down and call someone and scream?01-12-10 028That’s what happened to me today when I discovered a whole warehouse filled with fabrics!  I jumped up and down, ran out to the car to get my mobile, called my friend Christopher and demanded that he drop what he was doing and join me pronto! Which he did!  01-12-10 034 What we saw was like an Aladdin’s cave of great treasures. 01-12-10 009 Cowtan & Tout, Scalamandre, Bailey & Griffin, Gastón y Daniela, Ralph Lauren Home, Pierre Frey and more. 01-12-10 013 Silks, linens, chintzes, cottons, velvets and damasks. 01-12-10 017 Flowers, toiles, plaids, stripes, ikats, polka dots and dashes. 01-12-10 024 Even an amazing Rose Cummings cheetah print chintz…01-12-10 003 All arrayed before us in piles and on rolls. 01-12-10 036

And nothing that we saw was more than $10 a yard!01-12-10 014 More later!

    Will you reveal your source? My best friend lives in Annapolis and I just might need to visit her quickly?
