A Busy Day Shopping

Thank you so much for all the awesome birthday wishes!  I had some really good laughs reading all the comments.  And I'm happy to report there were no fires, grass, forest or otherwise.  {wink wink}  

I even exercised some self control and refrained from flinging myself off the cliff.  I did not have self control over the cake.  Hannah made my birthday cake with homemade buttercream icing.  All I can say is...yum!

I spent most of the day today at the Moda Warehouse.  Talk about exhausting.  It takes me about 2.5 hours to get there.  Then lots of hours shopping finished with a 2.5 hour drive home.  I was ready for bed when I got home but I'm still up blogging because I'm a little crazy.  

I took a couple pictures when I was there today.  I thought it would be fun to share pictures of the ginormous warehouse.  A person could get in some serious trouble in this place!

This is just part of the fabric side.  The rows go on and on for what seems like miles.  


I've pretty much mastered the fabric side of the warehouse.  All the bolts are pretty much in numerical order.  The notions side is another story.  I usually walk around in circles for hours looking for things.  I think I probably logged 5 miles today looking for a couple things.  But that's ok...I need the exercise.  




I found lots of goodies today.  Probably too many goodies.  I would show you a picture but my treasures are still nestled in my trunk.  I was exhausted when I got home.  I think they will be sleeping in the trunk tonight.  

There's still time to enter my birthday giveaway!  A winner will be announced Wednesday.

Is the warehouse open to the public?

What an awesome dream to have. Lucky you. I can hardly wait to see what you have. I need a backing for my quilt in cream. Let me know when they are posted in your store.

Jevne said...

Amazing. Do they sell yardage or only by the bolt?

I second Carla's question is it open to the public? I would love to see a picture of your shopping cart, I could just picture mine with all of that loveliness around.

Mara said...

Aww.. just read that they don't sell directly to retail customers, bummer, good times for you though!

Colleen said...

Holy Moly! I would think I had died and went to heaven if I walked into that place! Yes, it could be very dangerous to me! Glad you had fun! :)
