All of this talk about bags and no one asked for the store address. OK I had to speed read the bag discussion so maybe I miss the location.
As to the bag question---my favorite LQS uses a brown paper shopping bag with handles. If she wants to be fancy like at a show she adds a stick-on label. She has the bags in three sizes plus a small flat bag for notions. The only problem I have is on a rainy day she doesn't have a plastic bag to offer. I wish she had those plastic bags that say "Thank you" only for use on very rainy days. Personally I tell her not to bother with a bag unless the purchase is unruly.
