Showcase Your Best Creativity Here!

Right now, sitting in another bohemian cafe, slouched on a well used vintage fabric sofa with an endless amount of tea, I have found myself with everyone’s life long friend – the Internet. Like most students, I am meant to be doing research for the start of university, but my little arrow man has found more blogs to suck me into. For me, there is nothing better than seeing articles, blogs and sites covered in pretty, maybe shiny things! What more could a creative minded person what to see, if they cant put their hand through a screen and fondle the yummy looking things?

A couple of days ago, the magic from word of mouth, whispered some lovely words in my ear, saying that a few of our friends in Nottingham had been handed a slice of rare vintage wallpaper, an everyday occurrence right? Wrong! This was a business card for online shop, entitled Spinster’s Emporium. At first glance I thought it could be a retirement knitting group or a bitter women’s knitter natter, but while I’m in this cafe, about to get out another round of tea, the vintage wallpaper slipped upon me and I thought “why not? Let’s have a browse”

Its not a knitter natter for bitter women, but a quirky site that’s enough to make anyone get splashed with the wave of creativity, or just look goggled eyed at the mass of color and illustration. I personally, am a sucker for any fabric that is unique. Material Girl has a collection of wonders and wooers of texture, color and print; and  it appears, to people around me – that I’m stroking the screen?! It literally brings a super cheesy, giant grin to my face when I see a site for vintage produce that isn’t dull! Internet, my friend, today you have done well.

I have a relaxed attitude to fashion, but it seems silly in this “make do and mend” revival that we’re having at the moment, to buy clothes, why not be crazy and make them? The fabric on this website screams luxury, from the rich colors and textures, that now, I really want to make a beautiful gown or cocktail dress. One thing that always seems impressive about hand picked fabrics is the distinctive prints. Since starting university, an overwhelming desire have leeched upon me, that the cut is important, but the print in like gold.

I’m going to be quite honest with you, when browsing my eye picks up only a slight percentage of things, like a radar, and when finding something intriguing, it’s like my eyes come out of my head. Strong color and design is up on a pedestal for me, and 1980′s good fabric is one of them. Some girls like lovely, shiny things, I love 1980′s jazzy patterns one off patterns. There’s floral fabrics of all kinds, brocade beauties, cotton cuddles, and it seems like more things are about to come along. Its exciting that old fabric is still new and fashion forward, that a fabric pattern and fabric quality that limit can be seen over and over. And it’s yours, just yours when you buy! Bloody Marvelous!

Have you ever thought to yourself, how many floral prints are out there, no no I rephrase – how many strong, good quality floral fabrics are out there? They are so brilliant that each season they never go away, mother nature must be on her high horse about us having her blossoms over our bodies. Floral fabrics seem to be the staple for every generation, my grandma may even be wearing the same dress and me and looking a million times better, but thats life, that is a good print.

Well, that was a good venture wasn’t it? The next step, is…. Oh! There is so much I want to look at,  Spin Us a Yarn? Trim and Proper? Cut and Paste? Just the names are an exciting development on fabric, yarn and vintage wallpaper, not even mentioning the little illustrations that dance around the titles. The next adventure for me is Button It! Who doesn’t want to look at exciting buttons in all colors, shapes, sizes, materials, and textures. Oh, my mouth is watering. Button’s here I come! Go on the adventure yourself, www.spinstersemporium.co.uk , I promise your little arrow will be having a field time, and your eyes will be like bugs bunny seeing Jessica rabbit.

The Bugs Bunny Show $82.85 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Bugs Bunny Show is a longrunning American television anthology series hosted by Bugs Bunny, that was mainly composed of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons released by Warner Bros. between August 1, 1948 and the end of 1969. The show originally debuted as a primetime halfhour program on ABC in 1960, featuring three theatrical Warner Bros. cartoons with new linking sequences produced by the Warner Bros. Cartoons staff. After three seasons, The Bugs Bunny Show moved to Saturday mornings, where it remained in one format or another for nearly four decades. The shows title and length changed regularly over the years, as did the network: both ABC and CBS broadcast versions of The Bugs Bunny Show. In 2000, the series, by then known as The Bugs Bunny Tweety Show, was canceled after the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies libraries became the exclusive property of the Cartoon Network family of cable TV networks. Although the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show is still being aired on the Canadian channels Teletoon and Retro Teletoon.
