Fabrika: A Giveaway!
Fabrika is a jewel box of a fabric store in Savannah, Georgia. The girls and I had (too much) fun there this weekend--I brought home the most beautiful raw silk in a celadon green, a sweet turquoise print for Daisy, beautiful wool felt, and the odd Colette pattern.
The shop is exquisitely curated--not a bad fabric on any shelf. And some truly beautiful, work-of-art textiles. Like the black satin-backed cashmere. Sigh.
The shop owner was so gracious and friendly to our big group crowded into that space. All of Daisy's questions (mostly about rubber thimbles) answered. And I learned that soon their stock will be available online! 
I loved Fabrika so much I asked Emily if she would like to do a giveaway to celebrate our new relationship (in which she will, I believe, be the clear winner!). It was a yes, and so if you would like to win a yard of stylish oilcloth from this charming store, then leave a comment! I'll pick a name randomly on Wednesday, so don't forget to leave contact info just in case it's you I'll be contacting!

What a wonderful store! Can't wait to see it online.
Anna,
Does your eldest daughter have a Colette pattern dress on? You look exquisite in the peacock blue! Love, love, love seeing your family together walking down the street! My favorite blog of all!

Oooh, those fabrics look so yummy! I'd love to win that oilcloth. Thanks for the chance.
I would love to visit this fabric store sometime. We live in SC so it's definitely within driving distance. :)
OOh! I'd love to win some oil cloth. Thank you for the opportunity!
Beautiful shop! My favorite kind. I always look for a fabric shop when I am in a new town.
You can reach me at dd_bradley@hotmail.com
Love your blog! Been a fan for a long time.
I'd love to win! Thanks for the chance.

Don't you love the really beautiful shops like that? There was called St. Theresa's Textile Trove when I lived in Cincinnati that was a joy to enter. blaneybd at yahoo dot com just in case I win!
Thanks...always fun to enter a contest of yours.

Fabrilicious!! =) Thanks for hosting such a charming giveaway!

I love oil cloth! And I'm feeling lucky! :)
What a fabulous store! The oil cloth
would be just the thing for some nice bibs.

Looks like a lovely place! Glad you and the girls got to go. I can email you my contact info...
What a delightful shop! One never can know about enough fabric stores...that's what I say. Thanks for letting me get a glimpse into a good one! Please enter me into the drawing.
Oh how fabulous! I would love to win some beautiful fabric. I love fabric stores, and the small locally owned ones are the best. I will add that to my list of places to visit in Savannah. My daughter was on the Paula Deen show and fell in love with that little town. Thank you!
shire777(at)aol(dot).com
What a delicious-looking store. We'll probably spend a weekend in Savannah later this year and will have to look in!
I'd love to enter the giveaway. Best contact method is a comment on my site, since that goes straight to email: http:\\yellowpencilstub.wordpress.com . I don't post the actual email publicly 'round the web.
Your post has left me terribly envious!! I look forward to their online store, at least. Thanks!
I've been looking for some interesting, unique oil cloth! Also, I love how you said "Dude" at the end of your previous post. One of my favorite words. :)
Cannot wait to see what you do with the celadon green.
And satin-backed cashmere sounds so scrumptious. Wonderfully-appointed fabric/yarn shops are the best!
What a fabulous store! I hope you'll share a link when they get online. You can find my contact info on my blog.
I'll be dropping in at Fabrika ASAP...and am plotting for that oilcloth already.

I would like to be entered in the giveaway! Thank you so much! :-)
I think I would have had (too much) fun at that fabric store, too! It all sounds delightful!
Huh! I think I would have questions about rubber thimbles, too, Daisy!
I would love to win a yard of stylish oilcloth, or ANY kind of cloth, from this store/giveaway!
Thank you!
May I just say, you are a beautiful family ~ even viewed from the back!
Blessings!

Oh! This makes me want to go to GA! Can't wait to see what you do with the silk! And thanks for the giveaway.
Sounds delightful! I'd dearly love to visit the shop in person, but since I can't, I'd love to be entered in the giveaway!

Wow, what a wonderful shop!! It looks like a budget buster to be sure! I'd love a little treasure of a shop like that here, however, I'm thinking my husband wouldn't necessarily agree!! :) I will be awaiting word of their website, btw!! :)

I love the crisp white shelves filled with gorgeous fabrics. When I tried the link to Fabrika it did not work, so I am off to google the shop. We may have to visit sometime.

You are looking healthy and oh so happy on on your recent posts. Thank you for the opportunity to win a yard of fabric from Fabrika.
I really am posting, the second time ever. I really don't remember how I found your blog but I have stayed for many reasons. It is the calm that you project in the photos, the kindred spirit of Grace Livingston Hill, whom I have been reading for over 30 years. The beauty you see in your life with children....the list goes on.
Congratulations on having 2 graduates!
Wow! Just the store my mother-in-law would love to live in! And I love all things oilcloth. Please enter me in you drawing.
Blessings to you and your family!

This store sounds a bit like the Fabric Gallery in Williamston, MI, where I find higher-end fabrics from tim to time. Would love to be included in the drawing. Find me at http://theconsummateamateur.blogspot.com or through Etsy (I purchased the barn owl pillow a few months back).
Aside: bizarrely, your family populated my dream last night. Clara and Felix were doing some music competition (though there was no cello--Clara was playing a xylophone!) while deciding whether or not to attend a particular college. So strange!!!
Looks fantastic!
Lynne
Oh, yes - count me in!

Such a feast for the eyes! I love little shops like that.

Looks like a great store! I'm always glad to find a fabric store that carries something above and beyond the usual synthetics and quilting cottons.

Me! I would love to win some oilcloth. I even have a PLAN for it!
I wish we had a nice fabric store nearby. The stuff at Fabricland is mostly pretty blah - you really have to hunt to find something special. Do I still qualify for the oilcloth giveaway if I live in Canada? I can send it to my cousin in the U.S. if I should happen to win....

I am a blog stalker who will come out of the woodwork for a fabric giveaway. :o). I came over to your blog from A Holy Experience link about homeschooling.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful perspective online.
I never fail to learn something new or be inspired by your blog! Thanks Anna! casharn@hotmail.com
