The Needleshop at the northeast corner of Charleston and Hoyne in Bucktown carries several of these fabrics right here in Chicago. I was there yesterday and saw the Faithful Elephant, Echino Savannah Linen and Mendocino Giant Octopus.
I just made a shower curtain with the Mendocino Giant Octopi in the aqua color. It's cute without being overly whimsical.
