This week I have been psyched about fabric. When my parents were in town last weekend, we took a trip up to Waynesville, Ohio, a town known for it’s cute downtown filled with antique shops. And two fabulous fabric shops.
Both are called The Fabric Shack, but one specializes in decorating fabrics and the other in quilting fabrics. For our short trip, we focused on the quilting fabric store. And even that was a lot to focus on! The store is huge, with a rack of Amy Butler and Heather Bailey fabrics to catch your eye as soon as you walk in the door. Kaffe Fassett, moda, and so, so much more. I ended up getting just two pieces for window treatment project (to be revealed soon, I hope), but my mom made up for my small purchase.
If you don’t get to Ohio much, check them out online.
Hi, Christine here. As I sit here in the office, surrounded by windows on two sides, I hear periodic thuds. Thuds of cicadas hitting the windows. Thud. Thud. Here in Cincinnati, we are in the midst of cicada season. It happens every 13 or 17 years (depending on the brood) where cicadas emerge from the ground, mature, mate, lay their eggs, and then die. Around the office, we're at the mating stage. So there are many, many cicada flying around (they're rather clumsy creatures, unfortunately) looking for mates and singing their mating songs.

However, in the spirit of the season, I thought I'd share with you some fabulous fabrics Eileen brought
