I look at these closings as one-time opportunities and therefore binge a lot more than I would normally do on a regular shopping trip or sale. It's not like they happen every day.
Sad that the little quilt shop couldn't make it....
Thanks for making me feel better ;-). That was kind of how I saw it, such a cheap deal and a once in a lifetime opportunity to get some things I had been wanting, and some that I suspect I'll want at some point, LOL. And maybe the guilt of having all of these readily available project ideas will get me working on them!
I agree, sad that they couldn't make it. But actually, I think the owner is retiring. She seems quite happy to let it go.
I never knew about the shop until someone posted about their GOOB sale. I probably would have loved them.
