| We went on a field trip on the Monday after Festival in Long Beach to Los Angeles. The best part was visiting Alexander Henry Fabrics. One of my most favorite fabric companies. Brother/Sister team Phillip and Nicole De Leon. I have been using their fabrics for years, and especially in my decoupage work - on suitcases, boxes, purses, etc. Their fabric has always been a great source of inspiration to me! |
 |
| Their tagline is "The Fabric of Imagination." Their drawing room is like a giant playroom with books, toys, fabrics, pillows, quilts, etc. all around several drafting tables and artists drawing and painting their creations. All their artwork for their fabric lines are hand-drawn! |
 |
| They save all of the paint dishes, so that they can duplicate colors, document fabric samples, etc. These were a feast for the eyes.More paint dishes. Aren't they beautiful? |

 |
| This is my favorite fabric right now - from the Larkspur collection. Wouldn't this make beautiful couches and chairs, with the coordinating fabrics of stripes and polka dots? I am dreaming of making it come true. |

They are one of my favorite fabric companies too. You lucky girl!
