i think the luvable LQSs far outnumber the SnobShops. thank goodness!
sewjoyce, i don't want to hit you for loving that shop. i might want to smack you around a little, though, if you didn't appreciate such a jewel. my only complaint is that it's too far away to shop there myself! :cry:
i'm tempted, sometimes, to exploit an LQS for research and then buy elsewhere. i might do it, too, if they treated me badly enough. for the mostpart, though, i'd want to show my [secret] appreciation for the chance to preview my purchases in person. if they had what i wanted but i truly couldn't pay their prices, i'd hunt around until i found something i could afford and buy it. fair is fair and, after all, they provided a valuable service - whether they knew it or not. :wink:
