Drove 40 minutes to visit here on a rare day off. I planned out exactly what I was going to buy and…read morewas so excited to finally visit, only to arrive and see a handwritten note on the door saying the store was closed until Aug 19 :( I thought I must've missed something when on the website that morning and double checked, but there was no mention of a closure, not on the main page or the hours and contact us page. It's so disappointing because I'd been putting off buying what I wanted online to come support a small business. I'm wary to return in case this same deal happens all over again. I think I might just buy from a more affordable retailer instead of driving all this way for nothing. It sucks because it seemed like it is a fun store!

I urgently needed it for an event which was scheduled before the shop re-opened. I sent a desperate message via email and David kindly met me at his shop so that I would have it.

This place is a little hidden treasure shop full of fun unique fabric, buttons, ribbons, thread, patterns and so much more. I've been dying to stroll in but I tend to hit up this neck of the woods (more like courtyard) after the sun goes down so I was ecstatic to drop in after a visit to Wells Fargo next door. This place was so packed full of eye candy that I just had to take a few photos. I purhcased a beautiful tropical piece of fabric that screamed Paradise and some extremely large wooden buttons they almost look like coconut shells. I'm on a mission to make make-up bags for my sisters and I. We'll see... hopefully finish this mini project before Christmas. The lovely lady who runs Findings is super sweet and warmhearted.

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" :-)
