SHOPPING DAY!


Wooo...we had a shopping day and it was awesome.  We were on the look out for some fabric for our project at the Banner house so we started our day with a trip to FM Fabric.  I don't really know how to explain how much wonderful fabric is in this store.  I mean there is ALOT of fabric!  

After maneuvering through the first part of the store we found some great samples and also some great fabric for Stellar furniture.  Then we met Lewis!!!  Highlight #1 of our day.  He was super helpful and was nice enough to follow us through the store and cut all the samples we wanted.  We had to snap a picture with him!




We found some great fabric for pillows to match our new couch, and to re-upholster some chairs and lots of swatches to show Trina Banner.  We love FM Fabric!!







Next up was Urban Market....



It was huge and there were so many things to look at.  We didn't buy anything but got some great ideas for future projects.  After we left we started back towards home when we saw signs for a swap meet.  We followed the signs and they led us to this place.






I honestly can't believe we actually went in the building but I just had a really good feeling about it.  We walked in and it was scary!!  But alas we walked down a long hallway and found the swap meet.  Here's what we found....




They don't look like much but we know they can be spectacular.  They have a real industrial feel and we see alot of potential.  We ended the day with dinner at Panera/business meeting.  Overall a really great trip with lots of laughs.
