London Calling!

I have just returned from a mini-break in London
where I stayed with good friends who spoilt me rotten: 
I was collected from the station
and then taken to a sewing shop on the way to their home!
Fantastic! My friend had spotted Raystitch
on the Essex Road and thought I might like to pop in...
Of course I wanted to pop in!!!
They have a wonderful selection of books and sewing patterns.
It's a very beautiful shop with Japanese cottons
(at £19 a metre though!)
and other lovely fabrics and sewing notions.
They also have a cafe so you could stay a while
and then be tempted to shop a lot!
We resisted temptation and had coffee
'for the girls' at a deli across the road
only because we needed space for the baby buggy,
a crutch and a bump LOL.
Although if the weather had been better 
we would have 'dined' there as they have outside tables.
Mmm... babychino!

What a lovely day you had!

£ 19 (22 Euro’s), that’s what we pay here as well for Japanese fabrics!

Nice that you have friends who will spoil you. They can make life so much more fun!
Looks like a lovely shop--for browsing.
