Yes! I was going to suggest that. There's one in Sanford. If you go with an open mind, you might find some treasures! I found some YLI silk thread last summer for a great price. Granted, they were probably seconds but I can cut the thread to work around that for hand sewing. Once I found a flannel that I had bought seven years before at a quilt shop in perfect condition at the Ellsworth Marden's for a fraction of the original price.
