Supply shopping

I’m taking you supply shopping with me today.

Sadly I am without my camera for a couple of weeks thanks to some light fingered people, so only have some phone camera shots. So that’s why some have funny lighting and are a little blurred.

Inside the leather shop.

The weekend staff here are way more helpful than the week-day staff. They really helped me try to find the right shade of brown for a bag I started yesterday.

Also picked up a metre of white cotton amongst the remnants which will be perfect for finishing a sundress I started making about 6 months ago and never finished.

Always end up leaving with things I didnt know I needed.

Next I need to buy some more of the wadding that gives my Lily bags their shape. I have searched high and low for an alternative - online - the wholesalers - but nowhere sells the exact same weight and thickness that is tried and tested and makes the bags so good…

So……I buy it in John Lewis. And I hate John Lewis.

But until I find an alternative…..

Also thought I should buy a zip to go on the sundress or there’ll be another excuse to leave it for 6 months.

Thinking Saturday was a bad day to choose.

Finish up having a quick cup of tea in a secret bar I know high up in the sky

Spend about 40 mins watching the planes fly along, the taxis drive by below and also see the maids in the hotel opposite changing the rooms.
