So in the Country Register for Alberta which is a newspaper dedicated to Quilters, Crafters, Sewing, Retreat Locations, Scrap Bookers – everything that we love!!
Anyway in there was a notice for a fabric store going out of business – store called Harriette’s Fabric Place – so my hubby and I took the day and drove out there to see the deals and to go for a drive and take pictures as we both love to photograph Alberta’s countryside. So we made a day out of it.
We spent sometime chatting with Harriette about her store…she’s been in business for over 30 years – has quite an amount of fabrics for sewing and quilting, loads of notions, buttons, floss, etc.
For those of you Albertan’s she’s marking everything down 35% + and in Nov 50%+ she wants to be closed by December…some great deals.
such a cute store
Well after shopping (I didn’t go too spendy as I want to go back for the 50% off sale;)) Afterwards we decided to find a nice local cafe to eat at – we always try to eat where the locals eat – we found Maggie Joes – adorable little place with the most amazing service – we even got free pie – can you believe that that never happens in a big city hey?
It’s owned by a family – the guy working the front kept talking about all of his sisters providing advice and direction to him – it was so much fun.
I totally recommending stopping into this town about 1 hour East of Red Deer…
On our way home we stopped at this scary looking antique shop (but arn’t they all a little worse for ware lookin’)
We didn’t find anything great but he sure had a load of stuff
Enjoy – V
