I must admit that shopping for silks and beads, lace and trimmings is one of my favorite pastimes! Since establishing Shades to Remember in April of 2015, I've spent many joyful hours in the colorful aisles of Fabric Depot, the Button Emporium, Jo-Ann's Fabric, and every bead store I could find. I've turned down every road that offered a garage sale, perused many hardware and art stores, and skillfully assessed too many second hand shops to count. In addition to collecting supplies, I've collected a whole new group of friends and fans. Though I'll continue to welcome new clients and collaborators, I've become more selective in my purchasing decisions! Recognizing that the joy may be in the hunt, I'm running out of space! Besides, clutter and over accumulation can kill creativity!
