October 2016

Dear Friends,
The most important part of this newsletter is to thank you for the great support so many of you showed me with notes and calls about my Dad.  As I've said to all who inquired, Dad and I recovered quite well from hip replacement surgery!  He was a trooper and our time together, although tiring for a few weeks, was a treasured bonding.  At 86, my Dad is still hard working and quite happy to be back "in the saddle" of his riding lawn mower!  Thank you for your care, concern and loyalty.

So on to shop news ~ yes, Prairie Schooler did retire and shop owners were informed of the "last Santa" back in 2015, but guess what, Virginia -- there is a Santa Claus -- 2016!  If you're looking for more of past PS designs, Hoffman will be the sole distributor of re-prints so you can check their website if you "need" to fill out your collection.  I'll be happy to help you.

Country Cottage Needleworks is releasing a new series, "Snow Place Like Home."  Darn cute!  Let me know if you want to be on the list as I order them.

The needlepoint world is bursting with new canvases.  Take a look at the following websites and if you see something you would like to have me order, please give me a call.  Any canvas special order will be 10% off the canvas until Dec. 10.  Remember these are special orders so no guarantee to be in your hands for Christmas.

As we wind down from a magnificent foliage show here in Stowe, it's time for a good rest but not before I thank all of you again for your continued business.  Visiting with you is still my favorite part of owning this shop.  It's such fun to share stories of your families and yes, your stitching progress.  Thank you, thank you!
