A beautiful gift … and a fabric that even Veruca Salt couldn't find!



Recently I mentioned that I had received a lovely gift bag as a thank-you gift for being a judge for the hat contest at the Senoia Area Historical Society's spring tea. I got to select from three fabric gift bags, all with lovely tea-themed prints, and I immediately chose this one with the teacups, handwriting, and aqua blue fabric. It was calling my name!
Here's a close-up of the fabric. Isn't this yummy? As soon as I got home, I was typing in all the key words I could think of and soon determined that this was a line of fabrics by Susan Winget for Jo-Ann craft stores. Yay! We had a Jo-Ann! I would go there and nab a few yards! Only … it appears this fabric must have been out a while, as there's no longer any at my Jo-Ann store, it's sold out at Jo-Ann online, and although I've found some companion prints, I haven't even been able to find this print on eBay. And this would be so perfect in a wall hanging or something simple in my dining room. I felt a bit like the original Miss I-Want-It-Now, Veruca Salt, whom middle-aged gals like me will remember. (Click here if you need a refresher.) Ah, well…
I was so excited about my beautiful fabric bag that I almost forgot to mention the terrific treats inside, including a huge bottle of this delicious-smelling Oriox Green Tea Lotion made with camellia sinensis leaf extract…
And a cute Christmas mini tea tote, teas and mug mat. I love these designs!
But oh, this fabric! Here's the other side of the bag, and you'll note the vintage drawings of teacups at bottom right, one used as a pincushion and one with a little bird visiting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some overeager seamstress purchased an extra yard or two and will have it on eBay soon!
