so i've been looking at all of the yummy things people have been making out of alexander henry fabrics and i was hoping to add some to my stash.
buuuut, i looked up on the alexander henry website and the only place in the us to buy is in dallas, tx.
which isn't so much of a problem in about a month or so, when we move to austin. (only a three hour car trip)
but i was wondering if there were any other places that you nifty people know to get it that aren't registered on the official site. (specifically in the philly/nyc area?)

thanks in advance, my crafty fiends. :3

Ah, the "product only sold in one place!" illusion. Guess what? there are hundreds of stores across the US that sell AH fabrics, they just didn't pay the AH company to get listed on their site. Don't fret, just call around to the fabric shops in your area  Smiley

Ever open a magazine, seen a really cool dress & saw 4 stores names listed next to it? It makes you think that's the only place to get said dress, doesn't it? It's a common advertising ploy. Same thing with that website you saw- those stores paid to have their name put with the designer product. Way more stores carry the fabric (it wouldn't be so popular if people couldn't get it).

I know of two stores in my city (San Antonio) where I can get the Alexander Henry stuff Smiley Austin is bound to have at least 2 or 3, no need to drive to Big D.

I saw many stores online that have AH fabrics. I can get you some links. They do ship more or less everywhere (I'm not from the states, so I buy my fabrics online, from the US, and believe me, it can easily be cheaper, even with the shipment fee).

And by the way, I adore AH's fabrics!

i definitely know that it wasn't the only place to get the fabric, but i didn't even know where to start looking.
and once we move to austin, i will be scoping out all of the craft stores (and hopping amy's around town), it's just that the main place i've been hanging out each time i go to visit was soco. XD (and i still have yet to see the bats. >:[ )

Miss Kiss, if you could list a few of the stores online that you buy from, that would be great, ty. =3
