We have a wonderful little fabric and craft resale shop here in town! It's called Fabric Recycles.
The store's "ever-changing inventory" is very unique, with everything coming from stashes that have been hidden away in closets for years. Some items are vintage. Others are newer. All the prices are fantastic.
It's so much fun to browse through the cubbies of well organized, color coordinated fabric, thread, floss and yarn, Piles of ufo's wait for a new owner. Walls are covered with oodles of buttons, sequins, ribbons, lace, piping, trims, knitting needles, darning eggs and gadgets galore. Seasonal craft books, magazines and patterns are stacked by the hundreds. You can easily while away an hour or two in here.
The owner, Page (pictured here), is as sweet as can be.
If you quilt, crochet, knit, sew, craft, embroider, hook rugs, or are creative in any way, you must stop in to see this shop!
Thank you to the staff at Fabric Recycles for allowing me to photograph your fun store! I just love your shop!
(PS- for bloggers who are joining in the 366 challenge, this is the place to drop off the sewing and craft items you no longer use. If you have a lot to donate, click on the store link above to learn about stash buyouts, etc...)

Wow - what a lovely looking shop. I love the way everything is all colour co-ordinated. It has such a personal touch about the way it is presented - lucky you to be able to browse there.
ReplyDeleteThat shop s a real PARADISE............
ReplyDeleteI'm back and it's great to see you again. Happy, peaceful New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteThat shop.... I don't suppose you would buy me a return plane ticket from France, would you? ;-)
What a great shop, I wish we had something like that nearby for when I want to 'destash'........
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you could have a lot of fun just browsing too.
I'm not joining the 366 challenge officially but I'm definitely in the decluttering mode. In fact I think I could've completed half the challenge in one arvo when I went through my wardrobe......all those wire coathangers!! They just seem to multiply don't they, well not any more.
Boy it feels good to get rid of stuff.

What a lovely store. My mother the quilter would get lost there for hours!!
ReplyDeleteYou could find so much there that isn't in stores. I just love how people come up with these ideas.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - it's a good thing that this store isn't near me!...it would add to my stash!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful store! It would be so much fun to browse there!

ReplyDeleteWow, she must be very organized. Fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteI would squeal with delight if I got a chance to visit this store! We have nothing like this and no charity stores like we had in UK. I so miss rummaging. Thank you for the cyber tour. Gill x
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Wish I could visit this shop! And it all looks so neat and well organized. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteI am considering the de-cluttering challenge ;) I think Popa is too; he took things to the recycling place this morning.
I love this place and Paige is just wonderful! I have been there several times. It is a place that I can get into trouble though. :)
ReplyDeleteMelinda
Wow. This looks wonderful! It would make me feel creative just to walk into that room!
ReplyDeleteI just wish we had a store like that here in the northeast. It looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteoh what a shop - but not for those who want to downsize - unless they are getting rid of stuff there. Hee Hee I love the idea of getting rid of UFOs there.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could visit this wonderful shop, but it would be deadly for me. I love fabric!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the colors!
ReplyDeleteWish I could check that out-looks at a great place!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting place. I would love to spend an afternoon there!
ReplyDeleteOur local thrift store occasionally has such items, but this is an amazing inventory!
Now this is a store I could get lost in for days! We have nothing whatsoever like it around our area. I know you enjoy your time there!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have a wonderful store like this.. I too wished I lived nearby..
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great place. I want one near me too.
