I love that store & make several trips a year. It's an all day
trip for me.
We go down almost once a month and a lot of times during the summer we are there 2 or 3 times amonth. It is a 45 min drive for us and my mom is from there originally. She grew up on a farm there and went to Harmony high school there. So she had to tell me who lived where when she was growing up. I hear it everytime. And she hated riding the bus down the cliff road that winds into Bentonport? I think it is.
We also make a trip at least once a year down to Rutledge. It's an hour and a half drive one way. They have the same sort of fabrics as Dutchman's at Cantril. but always a differant assortment. They have one long wall with fabrics on curtain rods that swing out and it is from floor to ceiling. I love their fabrics. Averages around $5 ayard. A lot of it is $2.99 to $6.99.
