Crafter's Goodies Galore

            John Mills curtain and blind shop at the end of Main Street is good.  I've got two blinds from there, made to measure as the bedroom and living room windows are wide.  They were easy to fix in place too and are still working fine however many years it is now since I put them up.
            As well as blinds you can buy made to measure and off the peg curtains and some lovely bedding, plus curtain rails, ties, net curtains, voile, and all the accoutrements needed to make your own curtains, as I have done using Welsh and Scottish tweed brought back from holiday.
           My hobby is patchwork and quilting and there is a section, at the back of the shop by the large fabric cutting table, which is a crafter's delight.  Piles and piles of deliciously gorgeous fabric.  I am still working my way through the last haul.  
          The friendly, chatty staff enjoy watching the faces of their rummaging customers as they find their bargains, and there are bargains to be had.
