Brooklyn Park Home of Many Fine Attractions

I decided I needed to make a trip up to S.R. Harris Fabric Warehouse in Brooklyn Park after work tonight. It was a last-minute decision, but you wouldn't know it if you saw me there. I was a woman on a mission. Many missions. My cart was piled so high with fabric that five people asked me if I worked there. I picked up some fabric for the quilt block I'm making for Craft Conspiracy, fabric for a baby quilt for one of the attorneys in my office, a huge bolt of silk (on sale for $3/yd!) for a curtain upstairs separating Big Time Attic from my sewing area (and thereby giving BTA a harem-like feel), and some fabric to reupholster the patio chairs. The best part is that all the fabric was 65% off this week.

Do you all know of the wondrous S.R. Harris Fabric Warehouse? It is one of my very favorite places in the Twin Cities. They have tons and tons and tons of fabric. One time I spent five hours there. And the fabric is 50% off all the time. Pure joy.

Also in the fair city of Brooklyn Park, I pulled into the parking lot of Minnesota Foam and Upholstery, but they were closed. On my way out of the parking lot, I passed the best little strip mall ever, featuring the following establishments: (1) Goodwill; (2) Carousel Bingo; and (3) Kaplan Uniforms (home of sweet jumpsuits among other things--BTA has purchased jumpsuits there and have taken to wearing them at conventions, book signings, and, sometimes, around the house).

So...I'm going to do some sewing! See ya later!
