Such a sad week for my sewing life !!!!

I have been a desperate "slow mo" in all my sewing projects. Last Saturday, I though I would sew for at least 5 hours and instead I did a little 90 minutes before taking a walk with my DH and spending with him the rest of the after noon in a tile store to finish our bathroom renovation project.

This is terrible, I have nothing interesting to show :-( bad blogger that I am.
On top of this sewing lethargy, this week is a very sad week "sewingly" speaking. A very sad week for me. My favourite fabric store is closing. Not closing to go on vacation, but closing for ever. Sigh, sigh, sigh.
I can here you say that there are other stores in Montréal. Like this one, none, there are none!!!
Madeleine soie et laine was the fabric store where I bought 90% of fabric and notions I use. They had fabric my style, in all categories of prices, for all occasions and seasons. They had wonderful buttons, zippers and such a great spirit!
I am very sad. May be this a bit why I don't feel like sewing. All I have in my stash (more or less) comes from Madeleine. All my current project are made with wool I bought there.
I would love to find a solid partner and keep it open. Do you know any one living in Montreal who would like to have a fabric store ? I am open to all suggestions. I have great ideas to make this store a very popular and unique one. With my managing position at the Université de Montréal, I need a partner who could be there 5 days a week. I cannot do it alone.
I am very, very sad. :-(

Quelle triste nouvelle, je comprends très bien ton désappointement. J'habite Rouen qui compte plus de 150 000 et il n'il y a que 2 magasins de tissus qui pratique des prix exorbitants et l'autre qui ne vend que des choses assez ordinaire, quand à la mercerie, c'est la même chose.
RépondreEffacerPeut-etre tu pourrais etablir un tout petit boutique a temps partiel pour la clientele locale, avec une presence internet pour nous autres.
RépondreEffacerAnne, je serais triste aussi. Et j'aime bien l'idée de vente en ligne.

Salut Anne,
RépondreEffacerC'est quoi cette horrible nouvelle? Madeleine Soie et Laine qui ferme? Moi qui me réjouissais à l'avance de pouvoir dépenser mon retour d'impôt en tissus de chez Madeleine!!!!! Il me semble que ce magasin était pourtant bien fréquenté? Pourquoi elle ferme, au fait? Je nous souhaite à toutes que tu trouves un(e) partner pour le garder ouvert; tiens-nous au courant!
