Shorttakes

 

That's right, we're bringing back the November Model Sale!

Tracy has been telling us we need MORE WALL SPACE!  So we've collected a bunch of models that we're ready to send off to new homes.  Many of them are leaving because we can no longer get the design, some are ready to go because they've had a good run, but it's just time to retire.

 

So!  Are you looking for a quick Christmas gift?  No one needs to know you didn't stitch it (we won't tell)!  Is there something you got the pattern for, but hey (!), it's already stitched, so.....  Is there something you've had your eye on for a while?  Now is the time.

 

Before we start the show, here's how it's gonna work:

 

*All the models that are for sale are in our "Models for Sale" category (nifty how that works out, huh?).

 

*Needless to say, each one is a "one & done".  So if you want it, order it.

 

*If you want one, but you want to come in, ORDER IT online & tell us you'll pick it up ~ yes you can change your mind when you see it.  Orders will be pulled on a first-come, first-serve basis, or as I like to say, "Ya snooze, ya lose".

 

*We will do our VERY BEST to mark them PAID as they are sold, but I'm sure we will have some where more than 1 person orders before I get it marked.

 

*There will MOST LIKELY be additional shipping charges, especially for larger pieces (grrrrrr....).  We will ship either via Priority Mail or UPS, whichever is less expensive.

 

*If you would like glass added to the piece, let us know & we will take care of it.

 

So grab your notepads, sit back & let's start the show!
