Shorttakes

 

The Sale is upon us!  Make plans to join us this Saturday, August 9th, starting at 10AM. 

PLEASE NOTE:  10 AM means, that's right, 10 AM!  This isn't your neighborhood yardsale, garage sale, estate sale where you show up an hour early!  If you do, that's fine, but you're just gonna be waiting around, because we'll still be setting everything up. 

 

Now, we have (well, Tracy has) been organizing all the amazing things y'all have brought in from your stashes!  And remember last time I said it was all about the accessories?  Well, I do believe KITS have overtaken the accessories!  Kits of all kinds ~ from quick & easy Dimensions Christmas ornaments to beautifully detailed samplers from Heart's Content to full coverage scenic designs!  There are stocking kits.  There are afghan kits.  So file that into your thinking process!  There are still lots of accessories that came in earlier.  There are also 2 bins of random fabrics ~ we separated them into aida & linen/single weave fabrics.  Some are marked what they are, but lots are just random unidentified pieces.  There is a bin of "vintage" designs ~ and by vintage I mean, ALL THE THINGS I STITCHED when I was in high school (yes, I am now "vintage").  One of the books that came in actually had a design that my bestie stitched me when we were in high school.  She made it into a pillow & I still have it.  And there came the pattern...in the vintage books.  Hilariously, that book had about 20 different designs in it...and sold for $4.00!  Yeah, we can't even get a Prairie Schooler Santa for $4.00 these days. 

So!  Lots of great things for you to peruse & find your next treasure.

 

 

Now, the details for Saturday.

We will have tables set up in the lawn out in front of the shop.  When you come by, you will come over (or

inside ~ either one) & buy a bag.

 

We are continuing to use our TSS shopping bags.  We love using these bags for this because they hold SO MUCH!  You can buy a bag for $15.00 (the bags themselves sell for $5.95). If you have your own TSS Shopping bag already & wish to bring it with you, you can do that ~ just stop by the check in area & give us $10.00.  Then head on over to the tables. We will have loads of charts, kits, books & more sorted by category ~ Halloween, family, samplers, Christmas, places...you get the idea.  Anything that fits in your bag is yours to bring home!  That's all.

THE ONE THING I ASK: Don't just GRAB everything!  There is a lot there, but there are a lot of stitchers too.  So take what you want & take everything you want, but don't just take it to take it.  No we do not generally have that happen, but every now & then...  So I thought I would just throw that out there.  Also, last year we were thrilled that so many of y'all had actual correct change!  We were prepared with plenty of change, but it was wonderful to not have to worry.  So, if you're thinking ahead & you can just tuck $15.00 in your pocket, that will make Bonnie's life easy (she'll be the one outside with her lawn chair, umbrella & cooler ~ because some people are smarter than others!!). 

 

We're excited & we hope y'all are too!  See you Saturday!!

 

 

Hugs & stitches ~

Beth & all the kitt-ies at TSS.
