Jomar Score

To celebrate my store finally having a store manager (YAY) and my being able to regain my life (even more YAY) on this my first day off in 10 days I went on a little shopping trip. First I went to the thrift store which was a total bust, eh it's hit or miss. Then I hit up Jomar and had some great successes. I found at the bottom of their table of wool remnants a great goose turd green wool gabardine, 2.00 a yard! And it's just a smidge shy of 3 yards. And trim that I think will be good for the Mary queen of scots dress. It's not the beaded one I was lusting over, but it was $.89 a yard instead of $24.99 so it fit much better into my budget. There was only about 5 yards there, a little less actually, but I bought all of it and getting it home I think if I'm really careful and the trim doesn't go around the hem I might just squeak it out.  So as I'm standing gabbing with the very nice jomar lady (who people call me at JOANNS looking for on a pretty regular basis) she asks if I know where my green wool came from... um of course I don't I work at Joanns not Jomar (even though they are apparently easy to confuse). They have a table to wool remnants that all came from the yve saint laurent studio! umm WOW...and I paid 2.00 a yard for it? Sweet. The trim I bought is very very similar to a trim we sell at joanns for 4.99, only I like it better :-)  So yeah if you want some designer wool swing by the Norristown Jomar. 

Now I just need to make myself finish my mother's blouse so I can start the MQoS dress...I hate button holes!
