i love trades.  recently angela at www.catfishmoon.com in anapolis royal, nova scotia, approached me to trade some of my hand dyed roving for some of her vintage textiles.i know angela's vintage textile stash . angela is a world traveller (check out her blog at www.world-travelgirl.blogspot.com)
and collects bits and pieces of vintage textiles as she goes. i've bought from her before so i knew i would be ecstatically pleased with what she sent. already my brain is full of new ideas...
