I love the smell of new fabrics too! And also when you open a new bag of Hershey's Kisses, just yum! I think I can add a pound just by smelling that candy. Another favorite is the smell of a new box of crayons, wonderful childhood memories come back, my grandmother's kitchen table and a sheet of drawing paper.

NO, you are not alone. I also love that smell and when I smell it it always brings a smile to my face I have noticed recently.

Good Grief !!! Can this be true? I wonder why they would use that.What is in that stuff anyway?

BTW - me too!!! DH thinks I'm stark staring bonkers and if I find a fabric shop on our travels he just rolls his eyes and goes to wait outside! :shock: :D

I also love the smell of new fabric. It's rite up there with the smell of new leather shoes. These smells bring back so many good memories like getting ready to go back to school in the fall :D :D also the smell of fresh ironing, fresh bread and home made chicken soup. Smells bring back memories faster and more vividly than any thing else. I will also admit being a fabrihalic, but I refuse to take the pledge. My family has threatened me with an intervention and an exorcism but I'm holding my ground. I tell them that if I didn't have this one vice I would be perfect and that wouldn't be good. :!: :!: :!:

Oh --- I love the 'I would be perfect' comment!

I just love the new fabric smell also. You could take me blindfolded into a quilt shop and I'd know what kind of shop we were in! It ranks right up there with the "new car" smell and it's not nearly as expensive!
