Excellent idea. We need more ingenuity like that.

Ooh! Wish I was closer to that side of town. Maybe some day I'll get over there, and maybe they'll have some fabric I like.

Have you ever stopped at any of the Good Will or Salvation Army stores in the Rochester area? I find it hard to believe that I would ever find fabric in one. And getting DH to stop at one for no solid reason just wouldn't go over very well.

Fantastic idea. I wish someone would start something like that up here. They have a similar concept in Portland but it's to help teacher's with school supplies.

There was no price on it, so the girl took it to the manager to ask how much to put on it. When she came back, they had put a $15 price tag on it! I told her good luck with that!

Someone should explain 'second hand merchandising' to them. We call those people MSIG (my s**t is gold!).

We actually have a "thrift" store that is just like that. It's all fabric, yarn and everything else sewing. They sell by the pound. It's a really great place!
