Kudos and congrats to Meg on her new endeavor! <br />Just a note, for those in NYC or planning a fabric shopping trip. Living Social currently has a deal for Paron fabrics - $20 for $40 of fabric. I believe there are 5 days left to check it out. Don't forget to read the fine print.<br />Looking forward to more great STGD posts! <br />Thanks again Mimi,<br />ArletteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-48344042301683504602012-04-17T19:02:06.256-04:002012-04-17T19:02:06.256-04:00Wow, I skip school for a few weeks, then come back...Wow, I skip school for a few weeks, then come back to find we have a new teacher! :) Welcome aboard STGD, Mimi! (Meg - good luck with your new venture, too!)<br /><br />I share your love of the area. Grandma worked there for 40 years. I grew up going to the GD (in the days of rolling racks of clothes everywhere), and opening boxes of "leftover" fabrics & notions that Grandma would send from the different companies where she worked.<br /><br />Now I STGD from the perspective of a quilter, a home dec maker, and a crafter, not just a garment maker. So as you STGD for this blog, please keep your eyes open for interesting things & good deals that can be used for those sewing purposes, too.<br /><br />Lately I've been wondering who, if anyone, sells remnants or scraps. And I'm curious to know if anyone sells "grab bag" buttons other than Botani. What about grab bags of trims? Who has the best zipper prices (Mood?)? What's happening at Paron, now that they've moved? I also need to update my list of all the bead stores in or near the GD. Two more opened last summer that I know of, but have any closed? <br /><br />While you're on the subject of Psssst & "hidden" places, I'd love to have a comprehensive list of what wonderful stores are lurking above street level in the GD. I always think I'm missing half the shopping if a store doesn't have a window or front door at eye level! Mood is 3 stories up....but who else??<br /><br />Just "a few" ideas for future posts! ;)QuiltBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654329590294133998.post-58412744748816905182012-04-17T12:40:06.688-04:002012-04-17T12:40:06.688-04:00STGD has always been one of my favorite blogs.
