That's 'Liberty' as in the Liberty shop in London.
On our trip earlier this year, DH took photos as I flitted from department to department...
To make up for only buying 4 pansy buttons on a visit in 2008, I bought some lovely goodies this year.
I love the Tana Lawn fabrics made by Liberty but they are a bit pricey...the sign in the Liberty store...
Last month, on the spur of the moment I signed up for the Liberty Club of Westwood Acres, an online fabric store. I don't need more fabrics but I was tempted by the idea of getting bundles of 10 lovely Tana Lawn cottons sent to my home monthly for 12 months. There were 3 options of the size of the pieces of fabric and I chose the fat sixteenths...still plenty of fabric to cut charm squares and some hexies.
Last week, my first mail out arrived...and I wasn't disappointed...( shipping from the US is extremely reasonable. Originally I had put my name on a waiting list for the club and it was only a few weeks until I got the invitation to join a new mail out club)
When DH and I visited the Liberty store in March, we looked through all the departments and it was on a lower level that we encountered items that were...shall we say...a bit different to what we would have expected the store to be selling... I did a doubletake when I started to read the labels....DH took a few photos for me...
You may be wondering whether we purchased any of these items????....
The answer is a resounding no...lol!
But we have the photos to prove what we saw ...
Unfortunately we will never know what actually was in the jars! lol
