"for whatever insane reason, I decided that I need to re-stain and re-upholster my family's ancient dining room table before i hauled it off to grad school with me. \n\ni had a design concept. i knew exactly what i needed to achieve \"the look\". but ALAS! i couldn't find THE fabric - that perfect blend of gray-green-blue with the right amount of texture to perfectly offset the ebony wood stain.... SIGH! what's a girl to do?\n\nluckily, my mom had passed by SAS and suggested i go and take a look. so i drove down 19th avenue and parked in their oddly directed parking lot, walked in... and almost passed out! \n\nthey don't have any a.c.... yeah, i know! it's phoenix! it's the middle of summer! and all you have are some FANS?!?! anyways, aside from the risk of heat stroke, i HIGHLY recommend stopping by if you need some fabric or trim. \nthe selection is.... mind-bottling (for you zoolander fans). every shade of the rainbow! every type of fabric you could want! it's a fabric wonderland!\n\ni walked out with over 20 yards of fabric for $30! and not some cheapy crap quality fabric, either. definitely worth a stop - if you don't mind the heat and digging through the mess. but be warned - sometimes fabrics get missplaced, so you might end up paying more (or less if you're lucky) then you originally thought."^^ .
