That trim!!! I love it. I absolutely adore ALL of it--the one with the animals standing on each other's backs is too much, as is the little train with the animals riding in it (and I also see a squirrel in that print too).

Of course the penguins, but how cruel to take then away from you! I like the ones with things on them, rather than just flowers, we can get flowers here easily, but fabrics with household things/dolls/trains/newspaper things not so easy. And I don't think I've ever seen Japanese fabrics for sale in Scotland! I actually really love the plain linen, it sets off the colours so nicely. I have some wonderful friends here who are French so the things written in French are cool too. And the polka dots! Ok, I'd better stop gushing now!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>AJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190494273260138593.post-66525998936778334592008-08-30T09:56:00.000-07:002008-08-30T09:56:00.000-07:00Not sure how I came across your blog, but I absolu...Not sure how I came across your blog, but I absolutely love japanese fabrics so I have to enter the giveaway ;-)Javedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908834054794186780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190494273260138593.post-3872155559311441722008-08-30T04:55:00.000-07:002008-08-30T04:55:00.000-07:00Welcome back!
