Entries in Harriette's Fabric Place (1)

Stettler Alberta Trip (entry 4)

So in the Country Register for Alberta which is a newspaper dedicated to Quilters, Crafters, Sewing, Retreat Locations, Scrap Bookers - everything that we love!!

Anyway in there was a notice for a fabric store going out of business - store called Harriette's Fabric Place - so my hubby and I took the day and drove out there to see the deals and to go for a drive and take pictures as we both love to photograph Alberta's countryside. So we made a day out of it.

We spent sometime chatting with Harriette about her store...she's been in business for over 30 years - has quite an amount of fabrics for sewing and quilting, loads of notions, buttons, floss, etc.

For those of you Albertan's she's marking everything down 35% + and in Nov 50%+ she wants to be closed by December...some great deals.

such a cute store

Well after shopping (I didn't go too spendy as I want to go back for the 50% off sale;)) Afterwards we decided to find a nice local cafe to eat at - we always try to eat where the locals eat - we found Maggie Joes - adorable little place with the most amazing service - we even got free pie - can you believe that that never happens in a big city hey?

It's owned by a family - the guy working the front kept talking about all of his sisters providing advice and direction to him - it was so much fun.

I totally recommending stopping into this town about 1 hour East of Red Deer...

 

On our way home we stopped at this scary looking antique shop (but arn't they all a little worse for ware lookin')

We didn't find anything great but he sure had a load of stuff

Enjoy - V
