He's in the north end of Bridgeport, CT. I've been telling him he HAS
to go online, but so far he hasn't. He's kind of a shy man. Anyway,
last week I did get him to promise "maybe in the new year" for a
website.
It's a mill-end shop, so the stock varies, but he has gorgeous
silks (including dupioni) and linens, both 100% and various blends,
and a great variety of trims. (Plus of course cotton prints,
sequinned and embroidered fancy fabrics, fake furs, muslin in every
width known to wo/man, etc. etc.) Prices are very good generally. I
just succumbed to 3 yards of upholstery fabric in what the Crayola
crayon company used to call "Prussian blue" with a brocade design of
squares filled with Jacobean-style flowers alternating with a lattice
pattern, tones of gold and rose. Sixty inches wide. $10 a yard. I
didn't ask re fiber content, but it's got a very good hand and soft
sheen--and the back, being primarily those rose tones, is almost
pretty enough to show off on its own. Putting this on my livingroom
futon would upgrade my whole home--but maybe I'll upholster MYSELF in
it rather than my couch! Also got a yard of Czech rhinestone
beading, $12.50--so far, just to look at! And what I bought two yards
of and STAYED IN MY H-COST SANTA LIMIT is I think remarkable.
His wife is Indian and he is from one of the Arab countries, and
occasionally they also have scarves and pashminas, if they've
recently taken a little trip to see their folks.
Hop on a plane and come see me, Kimiko, and we can wallow around.

Alright Ruth Anne, where is this fabric store, and can we get there
online? Do share anyways even if a physical store only, as I'm
collecting good store recommendations.
