My Needed Break Is Here . . .

Hi Everyone!

On October 8th I announced I would be ceasing to 

ship my designs, both wholesale and retail.  Over the 

past weeks Faye and I have been swamped with

your wonderful orders.  Some of you were ordering

for fear of not being able to get things at a later

date and some were orders for my 

Inventory Reduction sales that I offered you.

Thank you all so much for your interest

in my designs and products.

Because of the volume we have remained open

longer than I had planned to, but the time has

come to make good on my intention to

take a "long needed" break.

SOME GOOD NEWS

During this time I have also been able to arrange

for you to be able to get most of my 

embellishments and Olde Brass buttons.

I am proud to announce that 

HOFFMAN DISTRIBUTORS

will be carrying my

OLDE BRASS BUTTONS
and shipping

them to shoppe owners.

As you know, some of the buttons are no

longer available.  I am very sorry about that, but

they have been around for many years and I

can no longer have them made.

BY JUPITER

has been my source for most of the 

EMBELLISHMENTS
I have been using for all these years.  

By Jupiter has a new owner, Barb            ,

and she is very delighted to work with both

shoppe owners and retail customers.  She has 

agreed to sell in small quantities--a new way of

doing business for BY JUPITER.  I'm hoping

that will make many of you very happy.

I will be providing her with a list of the charms

I still sell.  This should make the transition much

easier for everyone.

I'll be retiring many titles soon, so I will be

sending my distributors a list of what will continue

to be available.  I'm hoping you will let your

shoppe owner know if there is something you want

and they will get it for you from one of my

distributors.

My distributors are

Hoffman, Norden Crafts, Wichelt, and Yarn Tree.

My BLOG, Plain Fancy Merchant will still be

up and I plan to stay in touch with everyone

that way.  When I have new designs, that is

where they will be shown.  I'm hoping to also

tell you about them on Facebook.

During this time away I will be down sizing a lot of

stuff from my Shoppe days.  For example -

frames, stitching needfuls, and some fun things.

All of this will be offered on the BLOG 

for now.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this time I would like to say how much all of

you mean to me, both as business friends

and stitching friends.  You have made my career

fun, exciting, and so, so special.  I will be back in
the New Year with new designs, so this is not
the last you will hear from me.  

"Many Happy Stitches" and a
"Very Merry Christmas",
