"Hope this is the right addess-took it off another list that I was reading. We moved to Oregon 1 1/2 years ago. When we lived in So.Calif. this was the best place for ribbons and laces. I drove about 40 miles just to go to that store. And then even farther to go to Treadle Art in Lomita. . Would love to find something similar in Oregon. The only thing I miss about CA is the availability of such great fabric and craft type stores and of course the No Smoking anyplace."

They had the lace gathering factory next door. I made square dance dresses and it was nothing to put 25 yards of lace and that much or more ribbon on one dress. The ribbon was from l2yds for $l to 4 or 5 yds for $l depending on width. Same way with lace, many styles, designs, widths, colors and all other kinds of trims. If you bought large quantities it was less. 50 yards of 1" gathered lace was $8. They have every color you could want also. I always had unique square dance dresses.
They had some fabric also. Hoffman's in the $5-$6 yard range and others. They were usually the year before designs but that didn't bother me. They have all kinds of craft stuff too. Best of all, the area has improved considerably from when I first started going there.
