There was one...don't quite remember where maybe in Saunderstown ??? that was a huge, old building choked full of wonderful fabric. Loved it.
OMG!! That was SOO long ago!! Yes, Wakefield is between the 2. OMG!!
My mom and I would go to that fabric store in Saunderstown. It's all changed now. The "old" stores are gone, replaced by housing developments. Such a shame.
Do you remember the ferry to get to Newport, before they built the bridge??
