SPRING CLEANING....STASH TO TREASURE SALE

It's the end of March, can  you believe it?  April starts this week.  It's unbelievable.  I'm finally feeling better, but not great.  It will be an entire month this weekend.  I've never had a cold like this that took this long to leave.

I will be open this week Wed thru Fri from 10-4.  (No late hours on Thursday) Saturday will be normal hours 10-3 and Sunday will be from 11-2.  We WILL have First Friday stitch this Friday, April 1, from 7-9.  Our Christmas stitch on Sunday April 10 will be on the new hours of 1-4.

Since it's time that we are doing our spring cleaning, don't forget to donate your unwanted cross stitch supplies for our Stash to Treasure Sale....Saturday May 28th. It's getting tougher to sort thru the goodies and get rid of them at the end of the sale, so I'm thinking this may be the last sale.  Got several boxes of donations in the other day and I will keep taking donations until Saturday May 21.   Please honor this donation deadline as we have to sort  the donations and give them some sense of order before the following Saturday when they appear on the tables for you to go through, find some goodies and make a cash or check donation for St. Jude's.

Here's a pic from several year ago of the sale goodies.  Bring lots in so we can raise a lot of money for St. Jude's Childrens Hospital.

More Sickness

This is the third week that I have this horrible 'cold' for lack of another term.  No one seems to know what it is so we're treating a head cold.  Feeling much better this week, I can finally 'talk' but am still hoarse.  However my stamina is still not there, so I'm working limited hours again this week.

Wed. Mar 23 thru Sat Mar 26, the shop will be open from 10-2 everyday.  Perhaps I'll be able to get back to more normal hours next week.

Thanks for understanding.

SICKNESS

I never expected to be laid so low on my return from Nashville.  Nasty cold hit me hard and still has me in its grips but I am getting better.  Still have a terrible cough and cannot hardly talk.

I am back in the shop today and hopefully the rest of the week with limited hours.

Wed, Thurs and Friday I will be open 10-2.  Hopefully Saturday I can stay open normal hours 10-3.

Wednesday night free stitch is on from 6:30 to 8:30pm,
