yeah we had one close, but that was about two years ago, but she had been open about 30 years, and she never wanted to close, love that store, she had lots of patterns and books, fabrics were gorgeous, beautidul laces, and lots of cross stitch stuff.
Every year about this time she had a open house, to show new fabrics and patterns and books, she would have teachers demostrating new patterns and such, everyone of her employees would dress up as elves, and her daughter stayed up for two days baking thousands and thousands of cookies and bars and fudge, they would have coffee and a christmas punch. her store would be packed, several times she got introuble by the fire marshalls. But it was soooo much fun, she also had lots of raffles.
