In the late 50's,whenever we went to Penney's, Mom knew where to look for me- there was a table with a huge box under it -full of remnants. Mom hauled me out of that box more than once! She always said only my feet were sticking out of the top. I loved fabric even though I was just a little girl. My first HS Home Ec. project was from Penney's fabric department.
Thanks for reminding me of a great memory!
