I've actually never been to a Crate & Barrel, though there are a couple 3 hours north of me in Chicago-land. In remote Alalska I learned to deal with ordering online. The UPS man was sometimes the one person from the public I had most contact with! Through ordering from many outlets I have never been disappointed ever w/ merchandise from Crate & Barrel or Pottery Barn. Both are high quality "what you see- is what you get" outfits that always please. Shipping costs? Well, I see your point- but ten bucks shipping sure beats the hell outta buying a plane ticket and carting something back thru security in carry-on baggage! Ha!

Janie, when shopping for fabric, don't forget to check the remnents tables. There are usually some really beautiful fabrics there. Not enough to make a skirt with, perhaps. But more than enough to dress a Mason jar.

OK - IT'S BEEN FUN -

and it has also been requested that I delete this thread.

there are many different opinions - all well intended - and if you really read these posts you can learn many things.

One thing you must remember - no matter how well you try to protect your computer - there is always a slimeball out there that will find a way to do something.

PLEASE - RESPECT EACH OTHER'S OPINIONS - ACCEPT WHAT HAS BEEN SHARED - AND NO MORE REPLIES TO THIS THREAD.

Since I cannot delete this - I am trusting that you will respect Janie's request and please - no more replies.

Pretend this isn't here.

Many thanks to you all for understanding -
