Another quilt shop closing

I was sad to hear that my favorite quilt shop is closing in about 2 weeks. The owner had tried to sell for over a year, but had no takers. She is retiring from business. She had everything in the store at 50% off starting today. They had more than fabric, lots of gift items and upscale things in the front of the store.
It was a mob sceen at 10AM this morning, I stood in line to pay for about 1 hr. Got lots of batiks, and a few other things. Lots of the large ric-rac, about 20 yards, red and aqua blue, 10 yards each. Etc.
Now there will only be 2 quilt stores in the general area, and one in St. Augustine.
A sad day for the quilting comunity.
