Nestled in a little office building downtown, Josephine's Dry Goods hides its plethora of candy-tone fabrics behind a maroon awning that betrays the complexity of this store. This is not a store for normal people, unfortunately, and even the pleasant manor of some of the employees cannot hide the fact that nobody I know can afford 200 dollar a yard cashmere. Still, there is a remnant section, which isn't that much help to bargain hunters like myself, and a few lower-priced items lurk in the shelves. But Josephine's knows what it does well, and doesn't apologize for it. If you want cheap calico, go to Joann. If you want succulent silks, and can pay for them, then check out Josephine's.
