My favorite LQS closed a few months ago and I miss the owner terribly. She was always such a mentor and an inspiration to her students and customers.
On a bright side, though, she moved to IN to be closer to her family (from Detroit, MI) and is working on opening in a new location there.
We all wished only the best for her and hopefully plan a road trip next summer to see her.
It's really hard when your favorite shop closes. Hopefully you'll be able to find another one in your area.
