Aldens Catalog - 1956-57 Famous TV inspired Fabrics!
Among our fabric treats today are these TV inspired prints from the $64,000 Question a popular TV quiz show with it's lovely assistant Lynn Dollar! But there are other great prints and plaid here too, plus more little ideas of how to use these fabrics...feeling inspired yet?
Oh, I so miss Dan River! They were just over the state line, an easy drive for us to shop the outlet store at their factory. No sales tax in Virginia at that time, so a $20 purchase only cost $20. Out of business since early 2002 or so. The old brick buildings sit mouldering beside the river Dan, host to untold numbers of bats and birds and raccoons and possums and probably millions of spiders. Also probably snakes. Sad.
