We belong to the same club. Back when I was the fabric and soft furnishing buyer at the old Mac & East in Brisbane. (1980’s) I still have lots of that fabric plus what I have bought since.

Caroline Hi again,
When Mac and East had their fire when my children were small I bought bags of smoke damaged buttons for 50cents and still have some today. I think the store wasnt the
same after the fire, which was a shame as I love that sort of store. In Perth it was Boans just down the road from us.
A lot were driven out by big stores.

Yes, the writing was on the wall when I was there. That was why I left and went back to Uni to train as a teacher.
