Well put Moon Holiday. A friend of mine had a Shop and closed about a year ago. Just couldn't compete with the economy. Sold all of her fabric at 70% off. I did manage to get as much as my pocket book would allow so now I have a lot of stash and just fill in when I need to. So I feel like I am part of the problem too. We have all been affected by the economy and I'm afraid it will not get any better.
