Well things are heating up here
at the store! The move is only
3 weeks away (OH MY GOODNESS).
The build-out of the new space
is going well - and on
schedule. If you get a chance,
go over to the new location and
take a peek in the window...
We're still clearancing out
yarns - we have $2.00 bins and
bag deals. Plus, we have had a
few new items come in while we
wait for the move. We know that
some of you have been anxiously
awaiting the new yarns that
you're seeing in the magazines.
Don't fear, we are
getting them - just not until we
move into the new space.
In the meantime, we have the
Once in a Blue
Moon needlepoint canvases
trunk show in the store now
through the end of the
month. There are some
amazing canvases -
all stitch painted.
Enjoy the dog days of summer
