Did you know that if you show your Guild Membership Card BEFORE they cut your fabric, they will give you an extra ten percent off! How great is that! I bought some lovely flannels there this summer for $ 3.99 a yard.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933849931704386828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-12643627420937000782015-08-22T23:21:41.656-03:002015-08-22T23:21:41.656-03:00I've been to Mardens!

Second time, took the Cat from Portland to Yarmouth. Worst boat ride of my life! Heard it's been discontinued. I'd love to go back an just be a tourist; both times we were visiting the family of our son's godmother. It's a beautiful part of Canada.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791592886458322904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-51519818163880217322015-08-13T11:01:51.774-03:002015-08-13T11:01:51.774-03:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ZHOBEYDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005632710750819925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-62239030682640001332015-08-11T17:22:16.483-03:002015-08-11T17:22:16.483-03:00sounds like a great trip - isn't Marden's ...sounds like a great trip - isn't Marden's wonderful?
