The watercolors also have their place. I usually buy without a particular plan for what I'm going to do. If I see a GREAT one I buy it on the spot because it seems no two bolts are ever same, once it's gone, it's gone!

This stash drawer nearly all batiks.
I agree with everything athome said, and since I did, I think she should send me that drawer full of yummies! :wink:
