*******

(Friday night...)

Just of couple more things to list tonight before we send out the update...

Lots of boxes arriving these days filled with new Spring merchandise...which we're trying
to "keep under our hats" until our Spring Open House on the 9th of March!
(Don't forget to mark your calendar!)

We have a sweet, early, Continental spinning wheel now at the shop for sale...great little size
and works beautifully! A mix of hardwoods.... ebony with bone inlay atop the finials. A family piece from one of our customers...it' ready to find a new home!

     
New bolts arrived...the habedashery line from Windham with the antique scissors and
mother of pearl buttons...lots of great uses for these! 




All priced at $9.50 per yard...wow price is $8.55

Anybody needing some great straight tobacco sticks? We've got a bunch
now in stock...$3.00 each. (Great for curtain rods, garden trellising,  or to make a frame for the bee skep firescreen we have shown in the shop....)

 Here's a sneek peek of an upcoming class...perfect for Spring and I love bunnies!
We'll also make a few extra kits available as well...just a little more "tweeking" with the 
placement, and then on to the stitching!

 We received the most AWESOME quilt pattern today for the shop...
it is the Emily Monroe Quilt from the New England Quilt Museum.
54 blocks in all...each one detailed up close in color and then individually patterned.
I think this has so many unlimited possibilities...I can't wait to get started on a few!
Pattern comes beautifully boxed with a Kelmscott needle minder and thread holder...
Pattern price $125.00....wow price is $99.00

I think that's it for tonight! Have a great weekend and come see us soon!

(Wednesday afternoon....)

Well, we made our whirlwind trip to PA...got back late last night!
As much I love going to Pennsylvania....they can keep their cold weather...I think I'm just too much of a southern girl to get use to that!
We drove up in snow showers...windows freezing up right along with the washer fluid...it snowed every night and was ICE cold every day....
It feels soooo good to be back in the south and these 50 degree temperatures!

We brought home a bunch of goodies...some will be in the shop for this weekend...others won't make their debut until our Open House. I'm crossing my fingers that the spring orders I placed will be here in time for the festivities!

Pictures coming soon!
