I go to Mid-Atlantic in Hampton, VA in February with a friend. Our rule seems to be to walk through and see everything first. Then walk it again and look more closely at things we liked. Lunch break. The third time we walk it, we usually buy what we decided to get on the previous rambles. Then if we feel we've missed anything, we do it again. I don't take a list, she does. Whatever we do, we have a great time, buy some fun things and fabrics to add to our stashes, and get good exercise doing it! I look forward to it every year!
