FLY A KITE Fabric Spotlight - Winner

Congratulations to Angie Simonet!  She posted the following on our bog last week about the Fly A Kite Fabric, to win the fat quarter bundle:

Oh my goodness are these eye candy or what? Love them! I would make a layered skirt for my 2 year old with a matching purse! I would also create a home decor piece by adhering the fabric to the back of a glass plate! So many possibilities! ~ Angie Simonet

Angie please email staff@octoberafternoon.com with you full name and address within 30 days to receive your prize.

October Afternoon

Holiday Style in the Spotlight! And a give-away!

(blog posts from the DT are below this one)

Walking the downtown sidewalks that are freshly covered with a light powder of snow. Shopping bags in one hand and your child's hand in the other. On the corner you hear a choir singing Silver Bells. Along with others, you stop to look at the department store holiday window displays. Lines out the store doors of families waiting to see Santa. You can feel it in the air. It is Christmas time in the City. It is times like this that you wax nostalgic of being a kid yourself during the holidays.  That is Holiday Style, the latest holiday collection from October Afternoon.
