Last week was a whirlwind. It’s a new year, time for a change, so we’ve been morphing the shop. We now have a cosy seating area in the front of the shop for drop-ins to hook by the window and look out over our beautiful town.
We also have the library set up so come on in, sit and peruse my collection of rug hooking books and magazines. I was surprised at how many publications I have, but then I’ve been collecting for 16 years so it is only fit that there be volumes of volumes. There are antique books to boot, a few you may never have seen, so check them out!
We moved the coffee/tea station next to the stairs, and close to the sitting area so it is easy to grab a warm cuppa to sit and check out the books or hook for a bit. We have a few more things to shift but our old backs and knees were the worse for wear so we left a few things for this week. The boys are downstairs right now changing out the sales desk for the one in the back room. It has shelves in front to put merchandise, much more practical and just another spot to adorn with colour!
By request, we now stock all the colours of Heritage and Regal, Brigg’s & Little 2 Ply yarn along with all the dyed skeins Shane does at the shop. It’s a cornucopia of colour everywhere.
We’ve also been working on a shopping cart for the website. We’ll have it up and running as soon as possible. I've had a quick look around and I believe we have more inventory on our website than any other rug hooking shop. Pages and pages of wool, patterns and all kinds of extras. If it's in the store, it's on the website! We try to have different items and great variety to pick from, we are never stagnant, always coming up with new and exciting things to keep us fresh.
We launched free shipping for the month of February. It's the month of love and at Encompassing Designs, we really love our customers so we are passing it on. We believe we are nothing without you! Our American friends can not only have free shipping, but the exchange rate is in their favour so everything they order is a big sale!
For local shoppers we will soon have our loyalty card. As soon as it’s back from the printers we’ll be handing them out with abandon. What fun!
So is our little area cosy looking to sit and hook or peruse a book? I'm having the center table cut down to make a coffee table so come and put your feet up!
