Thank God for John Lewis

Thursday, July 5

Today, my junior brother and I went into John Lewis on Oxford Street, because I wanted to check out what they had. Thank God I did. They are currently having sales on some of their fabric.




















After settling Noah with my brother, and went off to explore the sale area.





Loads of quilting cottons on sale.
















This Joel Dewberry fabric from the Heirloom collection is currently going for £6.25/metre. I snagged 2 metres.





For those with nimble fingers, they also have yarn on sale.




Can you tell I was happy to be in John Lewis?




I came back and found this....in the middle of the knitting section.

      Thanks for commenting Arellis, and thanks for the compliment. I'm always happy when someone says something back to me.

    That's like the classic Arena poster of man and baby! Your brother is extremely handsome and you have reminded Meir the wool sale at John Lews. Double score!

      True dat. Though I suspect he passed because of over feeding. The child can eat.

    What sweet pictures of your brother with Noah! That sale looks great, I went to our John Lewis sale but thankfully it wasn't as big as that one and I only bought a metre of fabric :)

      I never buy fabric from John lewis, unless its a designer one and it is on sale. Some of what they sell I always see elsewhere for a lot less.

    Very jealous of your shopping trip to John Lewis, and the gorgeous fabric you scored. Oh, if only there was a JL in Belfast!

      hahahahhaha. I suspect it was Noah. He had just eaten, and was stuffed.

    That is so cute! I can't believe how big Noah looks already! I must get myself to JL as well, I have vouchers to spend, although they are wedding vouchers and I'm not sure how happy the hubby will be if I spend them all on fabric! x

    Lovely picture of your brother and Noah! Congrats on your restrained shopping, although JL is usually expensive for fabric and I can normally be restrained in there!

    That last photo is priceless!! :) I'm very jealous of your bargain, and also that you have a John Lewis. I agree with Suzie, I wish we had one in Belfast. Curses to the planning laws!!!
