Here's the honest truth: I have a crush on a shop, and it isn't some ethereal virtual shop either, it's a brick-and-mortar, in-real-life location you can go to and visit to fondle fabrics and yarns. And MAKE things!
Virginia and Noah have opened an oasis of beauty, creativity and how-to in Cambridge, Massachusetts called Gather Here. And I have! I have totally gathered there and I plan to do so again in the nearest future possible. The place is gorgeous, filled with high-quality fabrics and notions as well as yarns.
I got to see and purchase DaisyJanie and Cloud 9 fabrics that I have been admiring online forever!!
I'm not much of a sewer, as you know, but Gather Here can help me, they teach classes.
If you like to make things, if you like to be surrounded by attractive textiles and friendly folk, please go check out Gather Here pronto!!
This sounds like a delighful inspiring place, full of beauty and creativity.
ReplyDeleteI love it there too. Even though I don;t sew a whole lot, it is fun to look at the fabrics
ReplyDeleteSounds like the kind of place I could spend hours in.
ReplyDeleteI now have a crush on the place and I live nowhere near it. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteOh I have to go there!! Especially since I work in Cambridge. Maybe I'll even bump into you there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful concept! My town needs a place like this, and actually I think we'll be getting something similar before too long if I'm not mistaken. I'm glad you've got such a nice spot to hang out and get crafty!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad for this recommendation... I am in Burlington, MA for the weekend, and this is totally on my to do list for tomorrow :-)
