It was called Martin's Fabrics and I loved to go in there. They had all kinds of fabric, from dress to home dec. Plus notions, rick rack, ribbon, etc. It was built like a castle in that it had two-round towers, one on each side of the business. I always like going there with my mother. They are still in business, but not at that location. Boy, this thread sure brought back some memories! My grandmother (Mother's Mother) was a profession seamstress and I think of her sewing often. This just brought it back. Thanks!
Wow Martin's .... it's so funny to see someone in the same state as me!! :) I love Martin's, I never saw it when it was in the castle building, but I have gone there many times over the past 10 years. They have actually downsized A LOT and moved buildings again I think.
