Ha! Finally! my gift arrived! Apparently the description on the declaration wasn't convincing enough customs felt the need to open the package, so it was hung up at Canada Border Services Agency this whole time. Kelly Dorman sent me a beaded hat pin - it's just lovely! I had started my costuming days in the Victorian and Edwardian era, so I have a wonderful HUGE Victorian picture hat this will be perfect with! It's just the right colours for it too! Just in time to be photographed with my entire collection end of this week. I'm finally getting around to making a real portfolio. Very worth the wait. :-D Thank you!

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.

Re: [h-cost] Christmas gift exchange
The shop is called (creatively) Discount Fabrics. He's on the northern end of Main Street in Bridgeport. My phone book says 4198 Main, but he moved from one shop to another this summer and I'm not sure if this is the old address or the new address (several blocks apart). The phone number is 203-373-1025 (I assume that wouldn't have changed). I'm embarrassed to say I don't know his name! The shop is maybe a mile (maybe less) straight down from the Main Street exit off the Merritt Parkway, on the eastern side of the street. Harder to get to off I-95 but not impossible. --Ruth Anne On Dec 27, 2006, at 4:14 PM, Beth Chamberlain wrote: Could you share his name address, the shop that is.
