The plantation sounds like it would have been very interesting. I would have been overwhelmed initially in that fabric store but would have risen to the challenge of finding some treasures and dug in ... what fun!

I don't want to move 50 bolts to see the deepest shelves. I am 2 hours from there, make a trip about once a year.
