I did the shop hop last year. I took two days to do it. I bought a few things. You can see my haul here:

It is a fun day. It would be more fun if you have someone to travel along with you. I thought about doing it this year but I think I'm going to go to Quilt Odyssey instead.
I'm in Lake Grove. In which part of Long Island are you?
