there's a pretty good jo-ann's on old country road outside of westbury i think....my husband actually knows the places more then me because he went to a bunch of stores looking for ric rac for me when jo-ann's ran out....
the quilting bug in massapequa looks great but i aint been there yet....although you could go there and then have lunch at smokin' Al's after!!! Mmmmmmm!! it's 25 minutes from valley stream.. in 24 minutes you can reach carle place and there is a shop right there...and then you can do Vincent's Clam bar for lunch!! Goodness i sound like my husband telling you the best spots to eat!!!
