My beloved RagShop is closing their doors, going out of business. My son rejoiced and said he never thought he'd see the day! Here is their announcement:
I dragged him off to our local store last night. The yarn was 20% off (for now), and what's left of it will probably be gone before the discount goes higher. There was some perfectly lovely blue yarn for only $1.99, which would have had an additional 20% off of that, if only I could buy it! I almost, almost, almost had my son ready to buy me some for my birthday in September, when I realized it was too much like 2006, when I gave him money to buy yarn early in the year and thereby broke my resolution. I haven't come as far as JUNE to break it now! So, the confessed yarn-a-holic walked away with some large size crochet hooks and buttons for baby sweaters...
Oh, to join my colleagues in a massive buying binge.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't buy any either. Because I doubled our national debt a few weeks ago.
I went. I bought maybe half a dozen Sugar & Creams. I think they came to $1.40 each. I just shredded the receipt. Then I got this week's A C Moore ad, and they're selling them for $1.10 each I think. So, whatever, you're not missing much.
I did buy my mother 2 hummingbird feeders though. Pretty glass ones. I was only going to buy 1, but I couldn't decide on the color, and then it rang up at $5-something, and I figured I might as well get her both.
When will I see you again?
