My friend went to Japan and all I got was this lousy t-shirt...

Actually, that's not true. I got these fantabulously gorgeous fabrics instead!

Alls I said was, 'buy me $50 worth of fabrics'. Oh, and I said, 'please'. It was exciting when I met her for lunch to pick up 'the goods'. There was that anticipation of a Christmas and birthday morning all rolled in to one. (Yes, I do still get veeery excited)...

I think it's easy to fall into a pattern of buying fabrics with patterns that light your fire. This friend has a great eye and I knew she'd find something special, but with a twist on my usual purchases. And I was right. Props to Akiko.

So I think this week end might involve some new laptop cases, a holdall handbag and some pretty little purses.

Until next we meet,
