Wanna own a fabric store?

And not just any fabric store... one of the coolest places I've ever stepped foot in!! This is no joke. Fabric Nosherie has really filled a void in the St Louis area. And it has created quite a buzz, including multiple TV appearances. And now... it can be ALL YOURS!

I visited this store myself last June, and later that Summer I came back to do a lecture and book signing. Since then, Shannon and I have become close friends and it's no surprise. She is one of the kindest, funniest and loveliest people I have met.



Despite the success of Fabric Nosherie, Shannon has made the difficult decision to sell the shop so that she can be home with her four ACTIVE young boys.  She is selling the shop, the name, the brand, everything to the highest bidder. Classes are scheduled. Inventory is on its way.  The new owner can simply build on the solid foundation that Marc and Shannon have prepared. 





In Shannon's words:

"Well, I thought I was super woman. While I’m pretty close, I have realized I can’t do everything. I have 5 beautiful babies, and one is up for adoption. She is one and a half years old, has a lot of personality, a lot of followers, and is supercool. No, it’s not one of my children. I only have boys; it is my other baby, Fabric Nosherie.

I will be holding a silent auction March 18-25.  More information can be found under the tab Shop for Sale/Up for Adoption [on Shannon's site].  All inquires are being addressed by Schleiffarth Law (their information is on my site.

This is a happy thing for me and for the shop. My family needs me and the shop needs someone who has more time. Fabric Nosherie was built with sweat and tears and I’m so proud to call it mine but I can’t help it grow to its potential while I’m working on growing my family. I hope you will take time to look at the information provided and come in and visit often. I will miss seeing all my wonderful customers!"

 I would love to see this beautiful store go to good hands... so come on... who out there wants to own a fabric store?!?

This past weekend I had a lecture and book signing at The Fabric Nosherie in St. Louis in celebration of their one year anniversary. Since it is a relatively short drive from our house, I decided to bring the whole Young clan and extend my visit into a family weekend getaway.

Well, little did I know that the girls would actually want to be part of my presentation! This is definitely a first. Here is Shannon, owner of The Nosh, introducing me...



And introducing the "real designers". I am rolling my eyes because Sydney just hopped in front of me and did one of those "TA-DA! Here I am!" poses with arms outstretched and all. That girl!



I want to thank all of the sweet ladies and kids who attended my lecture. We all had a lot of fun and I had a wonderful time meeting each and every one of you.



Here I am with the lovely Ms. Shannon.



And a shot of the *packed* store!



I will definitely be going back there every time we visit St. Louis.

Lecture and Book Signing at The Nosh

This weekend I'm headed to one of my favorite places... St. Louis! I met Shannon (owner of a super fabulous fabric shop in Missouri called Fabric Nosherie) almost a year ago at the Fall Quilt Market and we hit it off immediately. I said, any friend of Laura's is a friend of mine! So, of course, I was thrilled and honored when she asked if I would be part of her One Year Anniversary Celebration!

Picture shot earlier this Summer at Fabric Nosherie.

Shannon and her team at The Nosh are celebrating all week so, if you live in Missouri here is the full schedule of events:

Sept. 18 Tuesday - 50% off Oliver + S book and patterns. 50% off Sew Liberated book

Sept. 19 Wednesday - 50% off Miss Henrietta pin cushion pattern

Sept. 20 Thursday - For every $30 you spend, you will be entered into a drawing to win 1 of 3 adorable bags that we've had at the shop!

Sept. 21 Friday - 10% off everything

When you spend $35 or more, you will get the chance to Pop a balloon (when we say chance what we mean is that you’ll throw the dart until you pop a balloon – even if it takes all day) . Inside the balloon is a surprise. It could be 20% off you’re next purchase or it could be a special delivery from Amy Butler, Denyse Schmidt or Laura Gunn… which one will you get? So many prizes……can. not. wait.
