We all need to vent at one time or the other. Glad we can be here for you.
One of my earliest memories with my mother was going to a Piece Goods Shoppe in our town. Upon entering you were greeted and asked if we were working on something in particular, if not, just let them know if you needed anything. Always courteous and friendly. When they cut your fabric, they would ask if needed thread, zippers, pattern, etc. Even being a child (8 years on up) they would ask me the same questions. I will tell you, I was loyal to that shop through the years and it was as if I lost a family member when the chain of stores closed down. JoAnn Fabrics took over from there. The time & effort those ladies took, made a lifelong impression that I was important to them. Precious memories.
