  1. I am such a curious (beloved call it nosey) person and I love to know what makes people tick.... This is a fascinating insight Sarah.. I can relate to many of your answers.. especially your favourite colours which are reflected in your beautiful fabric designs.. hence the problem I have choosing just one colour for the bag I hope to buy soon...polka dot or paisley.. peapod green or charcoal.... decisions decisions!?
