One year ago today: Montmartre

One year ago yesterday, I was at Chanel's flagship store in Paris. One year ago today, I was in fabric shopping paradise: Montmartre.

Pity I didn't have a burning need for any fabric though. I was so overwhelmed by all the shops, all the fabric, all the buttons! Everything! That I didn't really know what to look for. Luckily my eagle eye husband spotted a shop with some absolutely fabulous furnishing fabric, and we grabbed some fabric to make curtains for our library. Still yet to be sewn (of course), but it's perfect.

My curtain fabric
Take a look at all of the shops that I didn't go into! Well, I did go into some of them, but I can't remember which ones.














Next time I'm going to do some wardrobe planning beforehand and take a shopping list. (Cue husband rolling eyes and gritting teeth!)

      I so want to go back. I think it would help enormously if I had someone to go there with who shared my passion for fabric. Next time!

    I absolutely love Paris too, and I recognise some of those shops! I hope you enjoy your new library curtains, that fabric is fantastic!
