unfortunately with all of the rising costs, and stores barely staying above water now, things are going to be rougher. They estimate that one in four shops will close before June this year. They used to estimate that one in ten would close in any given year....going to be tough on those of you who are used to having a shop at your finger tips...here in rural OK we don't have any real shops very close, so the internet will still be our best bet! Much as I hate it...and I miss being able to walk into a shop and take classes, etc...
