What was your favourite store? I used to love 'Sarah Clothes'. They had indian made

sun dresses and krinkled dyed cotton peasant skirts & bags made out of the same material as the sun dresses. I loved shopping there. Don't know why they closed because whenever I was there they were very busy.

1. When I was a kid it was Ben Franklin

BF was a dime store in the little town in Texas where I lived. They had all kinds of the usual things a dime store would have but I remember they had a pretty large (to me anyway) art department so I was able to get pens and ink and art paper and I loved that stuff.

Plus it was right next to OK Corral which was a restaurant that had the BEST cornbread with honey-butter and I knew if we were taking a trip to Ben Franklin we were probably gonna get some OK Corral too.

You ain't ever gonna hurt my feelings giving me art supplies plus cornbread and honey-butter.

3. Fred Meyer

Groceries, clothes, shoes, tools, household, sporting goods... Best store ever. I wish had one near me.

4. The Kresge's/Woolworth

Five and ten cent stores.

They had the best stuff for kids to spend hours looking at

5. There was a store with Indian imports I went to in 1994

in a mall. They were having a final sale before closing and I lucked out because I was pregnant and found two dresses and some overalls that were all loose enough to wear as maternity clothes, but not really meant to be, so I still wear them sometimes.
My son is now 17 and we stop by Ross and Marshall's, stores that have overruns and other discounted, but usually good quality, clothes and house stuff.

I'll have to go to this store sometime in San Francisco- I can almost smell the incense! It gets great reviews.
