Sarah Stine developed a lifelong crush on the fabric arts in her schooldays Home Economics class. Fast-forward to a few years ago when, after
having kids and leaving the world of technical recruiting, she started selling fabric online. Stine has now joined the brick-and-mortar scene with Fabric Crush, her
cheerful and modern fabric and notions shop in Magnolia Village. The store is stocked with
a rainbow of quilting- and interior design-weight cottons from a variety of hip designers, at prices the same as you'd find at larger chains.

I think it's safe to say that the fall of 2009 is shaping up
to be the season of the boot. No rules apply. Recently I've seen women wearing
short and tall boots of every heel height despite the fashion forecast calling
for ankle boots. Retailers are following suit, stocking their shops with a
