I lived in NE Ohio as a kid and remember going with my mom to the basement of Newberry's Department Store in Painesville for fabric she used for our Easter outfit and school dresses. As a teenager, we went to a place in Ashtabula, large independent store whose name currently right on the tip of my tongue..ah yes...Brunner's. We would wander in there for hours. Again..school clothes. And upholstery fabric. And by then - grandkids clothes for my nieces and nephews! I remember buttons..Lots of buttons! They had little plastic bags and you picked out single buttons for shirts and skirts and coats...a couple cents each! Oh the good old days! What fond memories of my mom.
