IF YOU SEE A SIGN THAT SAYS THIS SITE IN NOT SECURE PLEASE GO TO OUR NEW SECURE SITE https://www.smockingbooks.com.

Most all of our products are uploaded but we're working on the site and will have EVERYTHING up asap. All of the links on this page still go to the old site, we're working as fast as we can on updating them. If the stupid shopping cart is gone please go to our new site and order. I'm switching servers due to all the problems I have been having with them, I do apologize for the inconvenience.

Garden Fairies Trading Company (a complete smocking supply source) was created in 1986 in dedication to bringing you the finest imported and domestic fabrics, French Laces, Swiss Embroideries, Ribbons, Trims & Buttons, Silk Ribbons and Silk Floss we can find.   My name is Beth-Katherine Kaiman and I have detailed everything (well most everything am working everyday to get all the items we carry onto this site so if you don't see something you want just ask, we might have it in the back-room) that I carry into categories listed on the page below.
