The last day my mother-in-law was here visiting, we went driving up to a small (very small) village Old Chelsea in the Gatineau Hills (Quebec). We walked around the village, looked at art in a gallery and after that we saw a really neat house with different upholstery fabrics (curtains and cushions outside) and we saw this really neat bench. Its made out of two antique headboards, now how cute is that... Of course I would would love to have that, no idea where we would fit it. The lady who made this and all the cushions, is Manon LeBlanc owner of Old Chelsea Slipcover Co. She invited us down to her studio and showed us her work (beautiful work and studio), and we talked awhile and it ended up with her giving me a huge bag of fabric remnants.
After a nice lunch in the sun, we walked around a bit more in Old Chelsea, and then we drove down to Aylmer. I took some pictures of different old buildings, I don't know what it is, but I love old doors and widows... well, I love a lot of old things.
And here is a few more pictures from our day away... Mystique cider, well yes, I had to take a picture of a bottle with cider. Not only was it a really good cider, but look at that label, so cute.
The fabric, is what was in the big plastic bag I got from Manon LeBlanc, I was in heaven going thought it all... This is a huge stack of wonderful upholstery fabrics, I cant wait to start sewing. Thank you so much Manon.
And last, here is something new I bought, a small carry bag for my art supplies on the go
. Its great, fits perfectly in my purse and it holds my pens, watercolours, Moleskin watercolour book and small sketchbook... Oh and I got a new Moleskin book, couldn't help my self : )
