l'ucello is a vintage haberdashery store in Melbourne's CBD - I wrote a post about it earlier this year, although I hadn't been there myself. But last week on a visit to town with a friend, we made a quick detour there, and it was very worthwhile! I didn't have my camera with me, but I found another blog that has photos of l'ucello's interior, so go
here for a peep. I'm sure any of you in Melbourne reading this, will dive in there as soon as you get the chance! I purchased a few little goodies in our quick visit:
A card with hairpins dating back to the Queen's coronation in 1953, and a section of very old woven band of fabric, possibly dating back to WW1. Kim at l'ucello said she intended to check this out at either the Shrine or Anzac House.
Half a metre of this darling fabric! My friend Julie asked what I was going to do with it. Julie is not a craft person, so she doesn't understand STASH!

If you are interested in those hairpins, let me know!

Barbro, I'm always happy to hear from anyone who has queries or comments on my posts! I bought that piece of fabric from a roll of it at a haberdashery shop in Melbourne. I just liked the design and colours, not really knowing what it meant.
Thank you for your respond :)
Looking thrue the net I have found the moste probebul company that has made it. It is a company calld Kokka of japan as far as I can see. I have no idea hove they made the conection beween dala hourses and russain dolls but... It looks nice :)
I guess they can make that conection becose they are both folk art or something.
I hope you have fun whit your fabric and you make something rely nice.
