What girl could pass up a sale?

My hubby and I were out on a date the other night and
noticed a sign for a Joann's Fabric store...that was the seed...
Yesterday, I decided to go check it out.
It was closed. 
*heavy sigh*...
I thought that maybe I had just never seen the sign 
and they were out of business.
But undeterred, I decided to go find another fabric store.
I was looking to boost my stash a bit for an 
upcoming fair I have been invited to....so off I went.
Within a few minutes and miles, I found another Joann's!
When I got to the door, I noticed all the STORE CLOSING signs...
I immediately went into the very crowded store 
and promptly stopped and asked one of the fabric cutters 
if they were leaving Houston all together...
NO! 
They are just MOVING to the
first store I went to that morning! YAY!
Not only that YAY, but YAY because EVERYTHING
in this store was HALF OFF!
WHOO HOOO!
When I finally made my way up to the register 
it was adding up...$30, $40, $50, and when it hit $60 
I almost fainted!...
But then, they hit the  magic button!
I stood there watching all the store discounts 
subtracting from my bundle of goodies....$50 - $40 - $30 -
$22.97!!!!

That's right folks!
$22.97!!!!!

VERY EXCITED!
Remember the seed? 
IT IS A FULL BLOWN FLOWER IN BLOOM TODAY!
I am cutting as we speak!

Happy sewing everyone!
