Liz tipped me off the other day, about a little shop that I'd never visited....
Trimmings and Remnants is jam packed with all things bright and sparkly - fabrics, sequins, trims, ribbon etc etc etc. If you needed to make a costume for Mardi Gras, then this would definitely be the place to visit!
I just couldn't resist picking up a couple of sparkly remnants, and some sparkly thread to play with. Now... what to make???

Yay! It's sparkly central thats for sure!
I love their retro laminex counter, and sometimes you can find some treasures like old Czech crystals and vintage findings
I hope the oppy near by was open and worth looking at too.
Don't laugh, but many years back I made a bikini top and micro mini from that sparkly fabric & wore it to Mardi Gras. Those were the days. x
Makes me feel like dancing!
OH oh razamatazz you're probably too young to remember that stocking ad , lol ! Love your sparkly bits .
Ooooh shiny! Maybe Super Pops needs a new costume??
I think that shiny can be spot from my place already..^-^
I know you would work out something amazing w them, can't wait to see it.
This is what I love about blogs ... every day someone has posted something that you just have to buy/do/visit. I think I would like this shop very much!!!
I love your sparkly stuff and the thread - excellent choice of colour combo! I used fabric like that to line a wizard's cape for Argy. I can't resist shiny things!
cam, I hope you're not telling us that you're going to mardi gras! I would never have picked you.....
love the thread! keira would die for some of that thread!!!!!!
Corrie;)
Sparkles :)
Bling Bling Bling
I remember the stocking ad.
ooh shiny :D
hmm a shiny crown or ears would work :D
I love a bit of sparkle. Sounds like a lovely shop and I look forward to seeing what you make. I have some of the thread that you picked up and have used it for some free hand machine embroiderey and serged edging. I seem to remember using the silicone thread lubricant(?) and needing to go slow because it was a little prone to breakage.
You can buy sparkly thread?? That is totally new to me. I wouldn't have a clue what to make with them... other than a sparkly pair of pants with a midriff top with sparkly long sleeves... in Bubbles size hahahaha...
