Quick trip to Lewis

Before I became temporarily housebound with the snow, I had a quick tip to Lewis and spent a pleasurable few hours hunting out vintage fabric and vintage paper patterns, but no trip to Lewis would be complete without popping into Bills http://www.bills-website.co.uk/for a quick cuppa.
Amazingly I was able to resist their yummy cakes. I got these patterns in The Thread Needles market and the man who sold me the patterns, told me that the Lady he had bought the patterns from used to live in India and she would have these patterns and the fabric shipped out in the 1950's .
