We had a Ben Franklin years ago in the small Wisconsin town of Spooner where our cabin is.

What I hadn't even realized is that it hadn't been called Ben Franklin in years. What the owner told me was what I guess would be the franchise fees and how expensive they were. They decided to keep the store open but drop the Ben Franklin part of the name. Those little stores have great deals on small notions like stuffed animal eyes and magnetic snaps. Love 'em!

We have one in Mitchell Indiana and I love it. A few years ago they moved into a larger building and Ace Hardware is in the other half. They have unique gift items you dont see other places and lots of fabric.

Last year we went to the one on the same block as Fons and Porter. Found some great deals. Surprised that they had more fabric than Fons and Porter.

I didn't know they even had a Ben Franklin sore anymore. I loved those. We always went there when I was a child. I loved the toy isle.

Oh, I bet my daughter is going to have a "hissy". That is one of her favorite fabric stops and I always find "just the right" fabric when I am over there visiting and we go to Waynsborough. I just love that store.
