Last week, hubs and I headed out on a little one day road trip.
Brad has been researching and studying for almost two years as we prepare to spend major bucks on a new grain handling system. This will be a game changer around here, making things move more quickly and smoothly (fingers crossed) on the farm during fall harvest. He wanted to look up close and personal at a couple of grain dryers and to chat face-to-face with some sales people.
We live miles and miles from good shopping, so I went along, knowing that I would be able to hit up both Joann Fabrics and Hancock on our way home.
I am on a mad search for pillow fabric for our basement do-over (read about it here, and here, and some more here) so that I can make some decisions about a color palette.
Both of the stores were big fat zeroes.
I didn’t see anything that even interested me a little bit, so I have been googling and clicking and clicking and googling trying to find some fabric that turned my crank.
Girls, my head is spinning like a top.
I have ordered samples of these (and a few others) to do a coral and turquoise palette.
But I don’t really like the first fabric-too orange.
Then I discovered Spoonflower and my heart started thumping. They have really unique fabric, which can be printed as WALLPAPER! (So excited to learn about this for another project we had in the works before the basement flooded.)
I really like this fabric and I think it will coordinate with some of the choices from fabric.com.
I hope your head is in place where it should be and you are having a great Monday, friends!

I like the last fabric, too.
Veronica and Daniel says
I like them all 😉 …and I would like the meet the genius who thought of making matching wall paper and fabric! So smart!
Susie says
Love the fabric on the chair. Nice colors. Some times I can make myself crazy, if I have too many choices. Good luck finding your favorite one. You'll have to show us what you came up with. xoxo,Susie

I just saw that chair on Joss & Main today! Funny. I really like all the fabrics. I have to check out Spoonflower for my daughter who is having kitchen curtains made. The fabric she likes is $79.00 per yard!! She is in for a surprise in our real world! Good luck and best wishes on the grain system.
XO,
Jane

My Garden Diaries says
There are so many fabrics out there! My husband thought I was nuts when I was trying for the 5th time to order pillow covers! Ha! I have the same problem! I like all of your selections…you know who has amazing fabrics and pillow covers??? ETSY!!! They are outstanding…so don't want to add more to your plate though!!!
Jennifer Peterson says
Oh love those fabrics!! And I have to check out that site thank you!
Karen says
All are so pretty. I could never choose. I'm sure whatever you choose will be pretty. xx
Beth says
They are all so pretty that it would be hard for me to choose.
Julie {Lilacs and Longhorns} says
I like the last fabric the best. They're all pretty, but I think it will be really easy to pull things together with the last one. Good luck!!
A Cozy Cottage in the City says
Hi Susan! Happy to find your blog through your visit to me! 🙂 It must be so hard to choose the fabric you really like, so I hope it works out!!! It's all quite lovely, so whatever you pick will be beautiful! 🙂 Take care and enjoy the rest of your week!
Hugs,
Jessie

I love the fabric and the chair is so pretty. I get so upset when they have nothing left in stock!
Auntie Bliss says
Bert uses that phrase, "turn my crank" …haha, how funny!
I love all the fabrics!
He is also looking at a piece of equipment…a spiral something-or-other…and has to drive to missouri or somewhere to look at it.
