Just a few ideas

I have been busy getting ready for a few upcoming shows, and a few birthday parties, but it hasn't kept me from dreaming of spring shopping and noticing a few fun items that are certainly on my list.

FOR OUR FEET:

Tretorn sneakers.  I had some when I was young and they are still classic.  Also available for little ones.  Tempting if I hadn't first seen these.

   

FOR THE HOUSE:

   

an O'Brien and Schriddle frame to finish my hallway picture wall, 

   

   

and this outdoor fabric by my very favorite, Galbraith and Paul for porch pillows.

I have also been made to promise that I will make a serious effort to use up my current fabric stash before buying anything else, but I am very excited about these collections FOR CRAFTING:

Alexander Henry Birdseed

Denyse Schmidt Katie Jump Rope for Free Spirit

and Uptown by Erin Michael for Moda

omg. I found THOSE EXACT Tretorns on sale a month ago and they had my size. You better believe that I bought them and have been waiting for warmer weather to wear them. I can't wait. I had some in jr high or high school. Loved them. My co-workers didn't know what they were.

where do you find your great fabrics? I'm used to just peaking at what they have available at JoAnn's. I'm guessing that's not the right spot.

Those shoes are cute!

I am terribly envious of your fabric collection. Wish we lived close enough to shop together. :)

I always WANTED a pair of Tretorns when I was younger. I don't think I ever did get any.

Are they back?!!
I may just have to get some :)
So glad for the link.
