for the love of gingham

Addiction, anyone?

supply shopping spree

Last friday I was allowed to go on a supply shopping trip, because I ran out of a couple of essential things. I went to this market in my home town (for the Dutchies: Albert Cuyp) and came home extremly happy ^_^ Found some lovely gingham fabric, felt, polka dot ribbon, cute needles and....buttons!! Okay, I wasn't exactly looking for buttons, but I bumped into an offer I couldn't resist: a whole tube full of buttons for only 1 euro!! Aaah, can you imagine? There were lots of ugly ones, but I managed to find four:

and I also adopted these (they begged: 'take us home, pleasssse?' ):

supplies : new stash

How I love buying supplies!

I really like browsing through sites searching for the perfect supplies. It gives me new ideas and often I can hardly wait for them to arrive. Last weeks I ordered a lot of things here and there, including this red and white twine and some colourful buttons.

cute supplies

Pretty, pretty ribbon!

fairytales and polka dots

A while ago I found these fairytale ribbons at a shop in my hometown: De sprookjeskamer. If you like polka dots, mushrooms and fairytales, you should definitely take a look! They have the cutest things. I think I need to plan a visit again...

Who doesn't want a tiny Mushroom sweets set?

matryoshka

This post of Tizzalicious reminded me of my own recently found matryoshka patches. I bumped into them by accident on a local market. What a nice surprise!
