We had the ceremony downstairs in a theater-type room and then we had the galleries open for our guests (it was after-hours). It was amazing!

That said, they're mostly 80s/90s, with a fair selection of 60s/70s thrown in. I like the latter eras, so that's fine with me, but don't expect to find too much of a modern selection. At only $0.39 each, though, one can't really complain. I also like sewing with vintage/thrifted sheets instead of new fabric (more eco-friendly!), so the fact that they had racks and racks of sheets was like Christmas for me. If you're looking for new or specific fabric (e.g. knits, or all-natural fiber content), I can't help you, as I don't know the area. If you're talking about Nancy's Sewing Basket in Queen Anne, my goodness, that is a pricey but gorgeous shop!<br /><br />There were also more pricey vintage patterns ($1 each) at the Fremont Flea Market and at random vintage stores in Capitol Hill. Hope that helps!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-2463348657189255442012-08-02T12:58:49.468-07:002012-08-02T12:58:49.468-07:00Haha, I was a teacher then, so it wasn't some ...Haha, I was a teacher then, so it wasn't some sketchy teacher-student thing!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-91885564998453523092012-08-02T12:58:16.549-07:002012-08-02T12:58:16.549-07:00I think they were meant to be flowers...they'r...I think they were meant to be flowers...they're all made of glass and quite large, to boot!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-353170219755095012012-08-02T12:56:32.849-07:002012-08-02T12:56:32.849-07:00I am continually amazed at the iPhone's abilit...I am continually amazed at the iPhone's ability to take pretty decent pictures. <br /><br />That was my only date in high school (the physics teacher was when I was also a teacher), although I found out later that a good guy friend wanted to ask me to prom but was too scared.

(Apparently, little 5'3" me was too "intimidating" to ask out on a date according to a guy who told my best friend.) As it turned out, my husband & I were actually engaged before we went on an official first date, lol! I guess I'm too Vulcan or something.<br /><br />Oooh glasswork - especially Chihuly glass!
