I’ll tell you what… I lose my marbles in a good fabric store. I’m not going to hide the fact that I can spend hours looking around… imagining all of the sewing and craft opportunities! Well, lucky for me, my recent trip to California yielded not one but TWO fabulous gems of fabric stores that I just have to tell y’all about!
Our first stop was at Fabric Barn in Long Beach. I had heard about this place from another blogger and have been wanting to go for quite some time. You know how hole in the wall restaurants always turn out to have the best food at the cheapest prices… well apply that principle to a fabric store. The Fabric Barn is the quintessential hole in the wall store.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover…
Aisles and aisles of every kind of trim imaginable.
Ric Rac.
Pom Poms.
Lace.
Ribbons.
Ruffles.
Frills.
And the best part? Everything is at wholesale prices…but open to the public. No minimums. All the goodness you want at wholesale prices. Ric Rac was like $2.00 for 25 yards! All sorts of colors, too!
There are ribbons and lace by the spools and also cut-by-the-yard. Fabulous.
I just loved the fact that the checker bagged all of my loot in a trash bag, too. haha
Yes. I’m serious. A trash bag. Peek-a-boo. Do you see my goodies? 
Next,
