Last night I was on Kijiji and looking for sewing and fabric items.
Well, I hit the Jackpot! Sadly, a lady is closing her business to retire. I stopped in her store this morning and everything was on sale at deep discount prices.

I got:
3 meters of fleece (yellow with flowers)
2 meters of lady bug fabric (dark blue with bugs)
1 meter of a vine print (pale blue with green vines)
And the best for last
50 meters - a brand new bolt of white cotton/poly blend!!!! :-D

I do have a birthday coming up after she closes the doors but I'm keeping my fingers crossed the DH will have pity on me. He was going to get me a gift certificate for the LQS...think I'd like to go back there instead!

Question: Is it normal to get a rush after a buy like that?! I normally detest shopping.

Rush on!! I think that is normal. Only wish I could run across a rush, score, or other incredible deal. Great job! Very sorry for the store owner though. That must be heartbreaking for her.

Just thinking about going shopping for fabric makes my heart skip a beat and my hands shake. So yes I think the rush is normal.
