It was a day that made you look up.
The main reason for the visit was the Designer Crafts exhibition at the Mall Galleries. Lots to see and admire, stand out for me was the work of Batool Showghi. If you like Mixed Media go look.
We wandered up Regent Street discussing what used to be where and into Liberty to gasp at the prices of the, undeniably beautiful, fabrics but longing for the days when a remnant cost less that £12.95. Margaret Cooter has a very informative and link filled post on the big London department shops of yesteryear
We tottered along to John Lewis as Liberty no longer sells satin bias binding and and finally to The Cloth House No 47 Berwick Street. such a lovely shop and people. It was good to see it filled with so many young people choosing fabrics.
A good day but now self imposed challenges need to be addressed.

Glorious day, eh? And thanks for the memories...I saw that "young man" 'up close and personal' 40 years ago... Amazing how well he's aged... ;-)
What a great post with lovely pics, thanks for taking the time to share. I remember the Cloth House years ago but haven't been to London, for a very long time.
