Susan Gower...

...you are so inspiring! damn. Susan attends fairs where she sets up her quilting supply booth. it's probably a good thing i don't like quilting because if i saw her booth i would have a heart attack. nonetheless, the buttons and trim and arranged beautifully and she's so far from the idea of Michael's i can't even stand it.

it must be incredibly gratifying to be a female entrepreneur, using one's creativity while making a profit. not to mention travelling the country and meeting women from all walks of life.

here is a glimpse of Susan and Nifty Thrifty Dry Goods from Country Living. if you get excited about vintage ribbon you should really check out her website or visit her next summer somewhere on the road and buy her stuff.

always been a sucker for good fashion...

the new TopShop is opening in Soho in a couple months and i am grateful to be living in Maine. otherwise, there would be some issues because i have an unhealthy love for London style.
