Urban Burp (Oh, pardon me!)

I finally went to Urban Burp today for the first time!

Not exactly sure why it took me

so long, but some things are like that.

Urban Burp is a vintage fabric store with an amazing collection of fabrics.

It is located near

the North Beach

neighborhood of San Francisco.

I had heard that it is a little challenging to find,

but I didn't have much trouble.

It's a delightful store, not

very large, and the owner is

very friendly and helpful.

She asked me what I was interested in, then

gave me a quick tour of the shop, telling

me which wall has

30's-60's fabric, for example, where the upholstery fabric is, etc.

I had a nice little browse-around,

and ended up choosing some

very nice fabrics. I'm not really into vintage fabrics

(or even reproduction fabrics),

but I found a few really pretty prints.

The photos, from top to bottom, show my stack

of fabrics, some pretty morning glory fabric,

the nice white-on-cream print,

and the lovely tie-dye looking piece that might

be useful for a landscape piece.

Nice treasures, don't you think!?!
