Fabric Store closing

Wow! What a shocker! And very sorry to see as well. And I just discovered a few minutes ago that I need to be out that way in the very near future. Maybe I'll stop by and see what the sale prices might be like then.

Kim,

I wouldn't wait too long as the manager also mentioned that "liquidators" would be coming in. On a good note, Good's Dept. Store (next to Shady Maple) has moved their fabric department into a new addition. It's larger, brighter, and they have great prices. Also, just read in yesterday's paper that Jo-Ann's is moving into the former Border's store in Wyomissing. But, I'm still hoping that the Hayloft will relocate.

Also, I don't know if you ever went to the Interior Altermative (home decor fabrics) store in the Morgantown Furniture Outlet mall, but it is moving to the former Fashion Bug store near Wal-mart in Morgantown. All of these moves are sort of a chain reaction to the Furniture Outlet mall being sold to the Mannheim Auto Auction...all the tenants have to be out of there in October.

Quilt Show going on in Oaks this weekend. Are you going? I'll be there tomorrow!

Ooohhhhh! More shops to visit! DH will be thrilled to see what I come home with next time. I'm always looking at home dec fabs. Don't know why - don't really have any projects going there either at the moment...but you just never know! Glad to hear about Goods. Haven't been in there in a while as, with limited time, there were other places with more stuff. Will have to check them out this time though.

I'll probably be out there mid-late next week or early the following week. I need to go to Bird-in-hand to pick up champagne glasses (ballooning) and other paperwork. I usually try to kill several birds with a single stone. My normal partner in crime won't be with me if I go then as she's away. Might have to bite the bullet and deal with AM rush our traffic on the turnpike to get everything done - but it will be worth it.

I was hoping to get to the Oaks show today but that was just wishful thinking. We leave late tonight for the Fireman's Convention in Wildwood for the balance of the weekend. Had laundry, packing, paperwork to do. Plus have to pick up and shuttle one of the rental children beginning at 5PM till about 9PM. Then pick up the other one at 10PM and head out. Not sure when dinner might fit in the day as DH has a fire drill to conduct at the school where he works at 7:30PM and I have things for him to do with balloon trucks before we leave tonight. Maybe between dropping off child 1 and picking up child 2 to leave???? And I don't think we'll get back early enough on Sunday to make it to the show either. Is it the same weekend each year? If that's the case I guess I'm destined never to go there.

Must go vacuum up all the dog hair from the last 2 days before the sitter comes. I think that gives me a 1 1/2 hour window to get some more work done on the log cabin from hell quilt!
