Type to enter text
Oh! We have so much to share with you! As many of you know, January is the TNNA show for needlework shops. Additionally, the once yearly Craft & Hobby Association, bead tradeshows, and January becomes a blur! Our heads are still spinning!
As usual, Billie and I ordered with abandon! The new products have been arriving faster than we can put them out. But they’ve been leaving the store just as fast as they are coming in! So check in frequently so you don’t miss the perfect canvas, new tool, or accessory you’ve been waiting for. A few notable items~
Stirling Bags & Accessories, Yum! Lantern Moon Tape Measures - we bought the whole farm! Daylight Stands & Lights & Magnification - we are already reordering as we speak!
