And thanks for doing for me! But in my case, train or slot car shops would
work better!
And I thought of the one thing I'd really need - a "day care" area!

The stitching shop that used to be in Jacksonville, OR (USA) was called:
Mimi's Yarn Shoppe & Liquor Store. :-))) The businesses are long and skinny
(old mining town). One side and most of the middle made up the
yarn/stitching area & along one wall and one side of one of the middle rows
was the liquor. Something for everybody. :-)))

There is a village of shops in Chadds Ford PA called Olde Ridge Village.
It includes a yarn shop, quilt shop, stencil shop, LNS and a tea shop among
others. It's a nice place to visit. In fact tomorrow night my girlfriend
and I are taking a class at the stencil shop. We are makeing a winter
floorcloth. I usually go over for the LNS but it won't be open by the time
we get over there tomorrow night.

I wonder if someone could pull this off - a cooperative set of shops set in
a "court yard" plaza/mall. A yarn shop, a needlework shop (with broad range
of areas), a quilters shop, a finisher/framer, a tea/coffee shop, maybe
even
a bookshop all opening in to a courtyard area (not necessarily open to the
air) with comfortable seating. And don't forget a nice bathroom; how many
times has your enjoyment of something been affected by a gross bathroom.
They all cooperate on costs of operation for heating, lights and the ilk
but
maintain separate inventory costs.

I've seen bits and pieces of this dream though not as far as I know
cooperative. At The Stitching Post (I think it's TSP) in Maryland
there's a quilting store and a great knitting shop in the same strip
mall - adjoining stores. I dont' remember about a restaurant though.
At Thistle in Glastonbury there's a chocolate store, several
restaurants, and a Barnes & Noble across the street in a different
shopping plaza.

The LNS is Strawberry Sampler, a very nice shop except - no bathroom!
This may seem petty to you but it's important when you're driving from
afar (about 2 1/2 hours in my case.)

That reminds me of the time I got out of a ticket while driving home
from Gainesville one day. I'd been in the car for about 90 minutes
and a full bottle of water.....well, about 8 miles from home, I had to
go faster, and knew I would have to stop at the gas station on the
corner, since I was NOT going to make it to the house.

When the state trooper got to my window, he asked the usual questions,
did I know how fast, etc....I answered "yes, I do". He asked why I
was going so fast, and I explained (with, I believe, liquid leaking
out of my ears, and wiggling on the seat like a 3 year old) the
problem. He laughed and said he could understand my problem and asked
how far home was. I told him about 1 mile and a half, but the gas
station was only 1/2 mile and I was stopping there. He laughed and
let me go.....

"jillsls" had some very interesting things to
say about The Dream Shop:

There is a village of shops in Chadds Ford PA called Olde Ridge Village.
It includes a yarn shop, quilt shop, stencil shop, LNS and a tea shop among
others. It's a nice place to visit. In fact tomorrow night my girlfriend

Floorcloth?

I have to check those out too! Glastonbury could be a great day trip with
fellow stitchers!
