Your story made me laugh. It was a good warning to me, as I am working on finding the right oil cloth to redo my vintage kitchen chairs and was considering the red and white polka dots! I'll have to keep searching. I talked to my friend Ruth in Oxford just yesterday and she wants to meet you for tea sometime. I'll try and get around to a proper e-mail soon and give you details. Bless you! You are in our prayers. Alisha Good work with all of your finds, Bekah!

Here's to dusty pianos and pouffes!

So your pouffe may be safe in the company of British guests. I think it is rather cute. You could probably sell it for a good price on E-bay, or barter for a bed or some sharp knives. The best place I found to buy fabric was at the Laura Ashley stores. Some HomeBases have a Laura Ashley section and sell fabric remnants. There is a nice quilting shop in Bath with a good fabric selection if you ever visit there. Cheers Maybe the English didn’t get on the bandwagon with the Strawberry Shortcake thing.

I'll see if I can post a picture of it for all you . . . but don't say I didn't warn you! Molly - thanks so much! That's really good to know . . . and the Clarendon Centre is right next to our church - so I should be able to find it. Thanks! There are actually curtain shops on just about every corner, (I think the English must take their curtains extremely seriously) but so far I haven't seen any regular fabric shops.

We lived for six months with the same plastic silverware while we prioritized on books. Somehow it seems appropriate for something called a 'pouffe' to look like Strawberry Shortcake's hat.

The result was this: Kings Fabrics 5-7 New Inn Hall St. Oxford, OX1 2DH UK 44 7865 791121 On a map it put the store near Clarendon Centre...if that means anything to you. Hope this helps! Rebekah,
