THE HARDEST WORD |
|
 |
Of all the items on our list of drygoods our favourites are always "notions and sundries", the words alone conjure up old-fashioned haberdashery shops. And we have a wonderful new batch of them in the Selvedge shop, from the pretty frivolity of our patterned ribbons and buttons to more practical items such as thimbles, measuring tapes and scissors. Stop by the shop to see them in person or visit our website www.selvedge.org |
Join
