Playing Shop
Remember how over a year ago my mom decided to open a fabric store in my hometown in western North Carolina? She originally opened Gloria Sews on the second floor of an existing store to help her get started...after one year in, she finally signed a lease on her own store front and moved in last month!
While we were visiting over the holidays, I helped her with a bit of organizing, rearranging, and played around with a fun window display.

What fun!! That's something you don't see very often these days. Fabric stores. My mother and I spent many hours in Jeromes' Fabrics in Chicago. School clothes, prom dresses, bridesmaids dresses, she was a wonderful seamstress. Here's wishing your mom all the best in her new space.
so pretty!!
LOVE IT! I want to go visit!
the store looks glorious!
Excellent windows! I'm wish my city had a fab fabric store. Looks cozy and fun. xo
What a fantastic-looking shop! I hope you'll post some more photos of your mom's new location soon. Congrats to Gloria on expanding into her own business space!
love!! so pretty.
congratulations to your mother! i love the lettering in the window!
Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations to your mum! Btw my mum's name is also Gloria and the name Gloria Sews makes me giggle because the woman is not in the least crafty hehehe She can't figure out where I got it from!
Oh wow! That looks lovely. Wishing her all the best with the new store front!
I'm an interior designer from Melbourne, Australia - I loved your blog, I found it very inspiring. This is all new to me but I have just set up my own blog
