It was luscious. The fabric I found was just luscious - a wonderful, imported red and orange iridescent silk linen.
Yes, I had lusted for it after having seen another woman holding it and showing it off at a fabric store in San Jose. I was drawn to it, like a fly to a disgusting piece of poop. Except the aforementioned poop was a gorgeous silk fabric - and I wanted it. Badly. But I found out from her that I'd have to drive my lazy arse down to Carmel-by-the-sea to get this silk.
And so I did.
What I didn't realize, was that Carmel-b-t-s has absolutely no addresses. So my hunt became even harder. Luckily, there's this new technology called a "phone" that I was able to use to ask where it was exactly located.
This cute little store, on San Carlos St (between Ocean Ave and 7th Ave in Carmel Square) has buttons, notions, ribbons, and some great but limited fabrics. There were some good fabrics for interior designs.
Nancy, the owner, is just a peach. She's helpful and friendly and everything I wish most fabric store employees would be like.
I heart Carmel, and this shop just adds to its charm. Would love to come again and look around for more good "findings" :-) read more
