FYI I tried stopping by your blog but it wouldn't load in my browser for some reason. Could be something glitchy on my end but I thought I'd give you the heads up.
There was an error in the bbcode that Kelso had entered for his Signature. I fixed it for him.

I have yet to go to Mendels here in San Francisco. I'm kinda scared...
Mendels is AWESOME! I made a pilgrimage last time I was in CA. They're very nice, so don't be scared! Embrace the madness!

@Joel, I'm not really near Houston. I'm about an hour outside of Dallas. 
Well, I was a liar anyway. I was in Houston today so Mom and I went by the old warehouse and they had closed down for good. Let me know if you find a warehouse type place up there. I get up there every so often.

Hey there Kelso, you snuck in without stopping by the "Introduce Yourself" board. So welcome to Puppets and Stuff! I see that you're planning a Muppet themed wedding. Very cool! You've probably already seen this but if not here's another example of a puppet inspired proposal/wedding.

Aww, that's adorable! And you're right, I bypassed the "Introduce Yourself" board entirely. I guess I should go do that!
Shawn Sorrell- Whoops! Thanks for the help!

Joel, there are a couple in Houston that I'm aware of. http://www.glicktextiles.com/products.html. They have fleece and a few basic furs. If I were a home decorator then it would be a good source, but I'm pretty sure your average JoAnns has more selection.
http://www.southern-importers.com/ they have a good selection of furs, feather and other costume fabrics, but the prices are much higher than the web.
Makes for a fun window shopping day. LOL
Are you familiar with Harwin? I've been told its a great place for fabrics, but again I could only fine home decor types.

Harwin is a lot closer to my mom's. They've got a lot of industrial park office/warehouse places there in that area. But it's mostly tchotchke imports, paper, perfumes, and lower end stuff. Might be a good place to pick up stuff for costuming or other odds and ends.
I don't get there often. Austin is like an island to me and leaving is just too much of a hassle.
