We flew into Portland OR on Wednesday morning. We got in at around 10:30 AM. And after getting our rental car headed to find something to eat at a restaurant called "TODAI" located in Pioneer Square in downtown Portland.
Then we headed to the hotel to spend our first night and try to get some overdue sleep (since we left home at 3:30 am that morning.) Well needless to say while my husband and daughter slept, I went off to Fabric Depot in Portland!
Can you believe when I got there, a 30% off of everything sale was going on! I wanted so badly to buy fabrics (but this whole airline thing is really playing havoc with my purchasing ability because I don't like to ship stuff back home, I want to carry it with me. I flew USAir and had to pay $15 for the first bag checked - can you believe it!). Besides, I'm trying to cut down on my stash - Hey at least I can dream. I did however purchase 3 books.They had an outdoor sale, so off I went. I found quite a few notions, etc. ( 1/8" elastic for my heirloom sewing; bra extenders; self-cover belt kits - been looking for those to make matching belts for my vintage/retro patterns).
On Thursday we headed to the school. We'll be touring some of the campus and meeting with the team on Thurs. and Fri. In the meantime I spotted a little quilting shop I want to check out - picture me with a big SMILE. Maybe I'll get a chance to visit the Mill End store and Josephine's Dry Goods when we head back home on Saturday.
