A little of both! I knew I wanted the frames and had held off buying them beforehand. I had bought a little of the evenweave at a Fair last year and was hoping to see the seller again so I could get some more and take a note of their website, which I did, here. But the threads I hadn't intended to buy, nor the kits really.

That's the fun of going, the impulse buys!

Enjoy your trip and be sure to let us know what you got.

:lol:
Thanks for that Slinky, and I'll definitely be sharing my stash on Thursday night, I can't wait!!!!

That said, I would have liked more speciality threads stands ...
Hear hear on both counts!

But if you're ever in London again ... and if you happen to be near Kentish Town tube station ... visit The London Bead Co. Despite their name they do threads as well, a room full of them, metallics, silks, stranded cottons...:drool:

Oh, you're BAAAAAADDDD!!

I'm off there tomorrow ... No, really I am.
