The Shops Are Closing!

Posted on March 23, 2014 by Patsye

A couple of years ago (while I was still in Florida) I wrote a blog about how “diminished” our towns would be if all the independent boutique-style shops closed. In particular I was speaking about yarn-shop patrons succumbing to the … Continue reading →
