"I have a few packages for you I will get them out of my truck after I finish delivering on your street." OMG! Really? It's got to be my oilcloth fabric samples I ordered from jolly old England!
As I wait for the mail lady to come back I was practically hyperventilating in anticipation. I keep going to the door looking to see if she came back yet......what the heck was taking her so long (mind you it had only been about 15-20 minutes). I was like my 5 year old when he is expecting something in the mail.
Let me check again...nope
It's here!!
And...it wasn't my package from England! It was the lovely Stella & Dot Necklace I ordered from Jo-Ann Coe at a fun party last week. Love it.
And the other package was a pair of sneakers my hubs ordered so he will be excited (probably not as excited as I am about fabric samples). Two boxes of happiness but, I am on the edge of my seat waiting for my oilcloth samples. I know they are busy other there with the Royal Wedding and all but this is important! As luck would have it they arrived a few days after the Royal Wedding...and they were in this little tiny envelope LOL!
Okay, so I am a little disappointed...could they be any smaller?
I am laughing at myself that I originally thought they were in two big boxes!
On the positive spin, I got a good idea of what the patterns looked like from their website and the samples did give me a good indication of the texture of the fabric. Really sturdy and definitely wipeable.
These are the three I am considering for my dining room chairs. I'll use some of the "samples" from their website, otherwise you would need magnifying glass:
These others were just for fun, maybe something for a future project.
I also ordered some samples, well a few yards from http://www.fabric.com/they should arrive by the end of the week! Yes I am a little obsessed. The samples from England where from http://www.norfolktextiles.co.uk/
Cheerio!
