More stock for Retro Age Sunday Market

It reached 45.5 degrees here today (113.9F). I. could. not. move. Could. not breathe. Could. not.fathom. how. it. could. get. this. hot. HORRID. But I got the energy to pop four fabrics into the Retro Age Sunday Market. I think ruched fabric has to be the hardest to photograph. If you look at the photo up close though I think you would agree it looks like a fantasy fabric landscape. Just lovely.

Hideous

Not the fabric.

The weather.

Day 1 - yesterday - 40 degrees celsius (104F)
Day 2 - today - 44 degrees celcius (111.2F)

Tomorrow is going to be even worse.

The earth is changing. The climate is changing. We need to act - and act fast :(

Scorching...

It was a hot day today in Victoria - and the next four or five days are going to be even hotter - 40 degrees plus. Ugh.

It's very hard to handle fabric well in the heat so I didn't do much with it today - but I did get the opportunity to add some more general stock onto the website - and some more additions to the Retro Age Sunday Market...

Lots of beautiful old rayon and synthetic blends went onto the website - the above one, in detail, is just amazing...

And then you have my favourite mod prints - I just can't get enough of them!

I am hoping our state will remain fire free tomorrow and in the coming days. We're bare, we're dry - we're hot. And there's wind. All the ingredients for another Ash Wednesday. Please no.
