I thought long and hard on this weeks 'This is' meme, before finally deciding that op-shops, really were my favourite place to buy fabric. I would say that about 90% of the fabrics we use to make McCranky! things come from op-shops. I suppose the reason is becasue fabrics found in these shops are so unique, rarely do I see a piece that i've brough before in another shop somewhere down the line. I love the feeling of seeing a perfect piece of fabric hanging or folded up, waiting to be cut and used to make something wonderful. I've had a quick look at what some other people had said and am quite excited by the prospect of doing some online craft buying. Neither Claire nor I have ever delved into buying fabric over the internet (not that I can remember anyway) but definatley think that some will be done in the near future.

The Bargain Shop looks a bit exciting. I will have to do some more serious scouring of op shops ... everyone seems to come up with such treasures!
The oppy is definitely my fave too...I think it's because of the anticipation of what you might find inside.
