Shorttakes
It is that wonderful time of year again! The Nashville Market is just around the corner & all the newest goodies are popping up all over social media! Around here, we've been collecting all the images & information & I've been frantically trying to post them as fast as possible. And yet, it's never fast enough. A few years ago we were discussing the fact that there seemed to be less & less time to get it all posted after Super Bowl...and then we realized it's the NFL's FAULT!!! Remember when the Super Bowl was the end of January?? Yeah not any more. Having it the 2nd weekend in February means that there's only a couple short weeks between Super Bowl & Market. Now, why does that matter? Mainly because we try to hold off on posting Market coming attractions until AFTER Super Bowl, so no one thinks they're already available. AND, needless to say, it was TONS easier when Molly was here because she & I had a well-oiled machine of a system in place. As you can imagine the machine (HA!) is a bit clunky now. So this is later than I would like getting in your hands.
Having said that, I am posting all the great new things on the website as quikly as possible, so you can see them as I post them by clicking here: Nashville 2024.
Each year I debate how to organize the designers & their designs. In the past, we grouped them by floor & "traveled" from floor to floor. But I wanted to change it this year & in talking with Cindy last weekend, she also noted that, if one was looking for a particular designer but didn't have a clue what floor they were on, it became a pain trying to find where to look! VERY GOOD POINT! So this year, I've organized it alphabetically (according to the designer's name). So you will find Primrose Cottage in the "O - R" category. Of course, if you can't remember the designer's name you'll still have to do a little searching!
Next question is, am I going to Nashville this year.
Sadly no. Much like last year, I sat & went thru the calculations of costs. This year, in addition to the plane ticket, rental car, hotel bill, food & other incidental costs that don't contribute to bringing home great stuff, I also was faced with shipping fees. Every year, we would travel with 4 empty suitcases that we would fill with the maximum 50 pounds of stitching treasures. This year, it would be just me, which means I would only have 2 suitcases ~ that means I would have to ship a big bunch of stuff. And shipping gets ever more expensive. So while I am truly saddened to miss this trip ~ and even sadder to not be able to get away & spend time with friends ~ I'm excited about all the great things we're seeing!

Every year, we celebrate the Nashville Market with Nash Cash! With every purchase of any/all Nashville items, you will earn Nash Cash. How you choose to earn it is up to you.
You may CASH it, in which case you will earn an immediate 20% discount on your entire Nashville order. We will apply the 20% to your Nashville order. This includes any "ingredients" you order for new items. If you choose this, you will not earn any Frequent Stitcher's Points.
OR
You may STASH it, in which case you will earn 25% of the purchase amount that you can then use just like cash during May & June. One caveat: you cannot use your Nash Cash in conjunction with other discounts (so you can't use Frequent Stitcher's Points AND Nash Cash). You will, however, earn more Frequent Stitcher's Points.
Confused yet?
Here's a little table for comparison purposes.
ASSUMPTION: Your Nashville order totals to $100.00 (excluding tax & shipping).
So, as you place your order, just note in the comment section if you would like to Cash it or Stash it. If you don't specify, we will go ahead & Cash it for you.
Now! I have an newsletter overflowing with tons of Nashville goodies already underway, but I wanted to get this little intro off to you so you can start checking out all the great new stuff.
Hugs & stitches ~
Beth & all the excitable stitchers at TSS
