When I walk into what I call a "brown" quilt shop (Debbie Mum, Thimbleberries, traditional county fabric) I get depressed and leave quickly. However, when I enter a quilt shop and see great colors I am upbeat and tend to stay longer and spend more money in this type of shop.
I feel the same way SPIFFY. I love a bright shop. The dark or as you call them, "brown" shops kind of depress me a bit. I tend to gravitate torward shops that are bright, carry good variation and texture and not just traditional shops. My favs are the ones that have it ALL.
