Say it ain't so

Today I drove into SA to shop at the Yarn Barn http://yarnbarnsa.com/.
What do I see on their front door? They are closing. OH NO! Say it ain't so!! I couldn't believe it. Yep, they lost their lease and the owner decided it was time to retire. What am I going to do for my for my "yarn fix"?
Yes, there is another yarn shop across town, but they don't carry the same kind of yarn. Most importantly, the don't carry Sirdar Snuggly DK. This is my favorite yarn to knit baby items with. I guess I'll have to find an internet source for my fix. While at the Yarn Barn, I picked up stash yarn. I got a few baby items on my "To Knit" list. I'll keep checking in at the Yarn Barn both to find out if someone else buys it and moves the store, but also to see what they put on sale.

I left the Yarn Barn still reeling from the news. So what else could I do? I went shopping. A stop at ColdWater Creek filled the trunk of the Miata with new clothes. Remember the Miata has a very small trunk, so I didn't break the bank. But I did put a dent in the check book.
