Fall brings changes.
Yesterday I got another wild hair and decided to rearrange the entire store. I moved all the fabric to the front room along with the purple table. Now all the sewing things are in one room and it is more open and bright. I also redid the big table with a small fall display and the mantel with a holiday display.
Now the smaller room has all the other non-fabric crafts and supplies. I also managed to find room for the cutting table so I don’t have to go in back to cut fabric for customers anymore.
