Do not be afraid. The outside of the store is, well it doesnt give any hints to the treasures inside. :) Wear very comfortable shoes! If you are on a budget, dont bother. LOL If you really like something and want alot of it, go to the wholesale counter and see if they have what you want in bulk. Remember, no sales tax in Oregon, you can spend a little more. Go online before you go, they offer online coupons and you will get to see what is on sale before you get there so you can plan your attack. They do have shopping carts. Yes, you can have more than one. :) Remember to look up. The walls are covered with beautiful quilts and in the front of store, near checkout is even more goodies on the wall. I WANNA COME TOO!!!!! Have a wonderful time! OH OH, if you find something you like online I bet you could order it and then pick it up and save the shipping. Not sure but I would call first.
