One year, traveling home from Coeur d'Alene, ID, I found out (quite by accident) about the Fabric Depot in Portland, Oregon. Oh, my goodness; they were having a 60% off sale on almost everything in the store. I got there in the morning and spent the whole day there. I did spend a pretty penny there, but I figured it was like getting 70% off in California. I actually had to call my husband to tell him I was going to arrive home a day later than expected because I had to get a motel room for the night because it was too late to drive home and I don't like to drive in the dark.
Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, our credit card company called my husband to make sure that the charge on my credit card was a legitimate one. Boy was I in trouble when I got home... But, I was a happy girl with all my wonderful fabric. Yeah! I figured if my husband were to kill me, I would die with a big smile on my face. LOL
