Free Shipping Promo has ended....

3/1/2016

I’ve been absent from the Blog and FB for a bit.  The Free Shipping Promo for all of North America kept us hopping and I was feet tired and brain dead by the end of each day.  In the evenings, all I could muster was warming the sofa with pups piled on top of me.  I had a nap before dinner to rest enough to chew my food!  I might have been tired but I was happy as a flea on a dog, not one of mine of  course although I did find a tick on Henri....a tick mind you in February, it's crazy! 

I wanted to write each evening but I was afraid it might read like gobbledly gook so I stepped away from the computer to spare you. 

Although it might sound like I'm complaining I most certainly am not!  Any time the shop is busy is a great thing, knowing we are still going strong after all these years is heart warming.  We've worked hard to be here and want to stay as long as you want us too!  We appreciate your business and welcome all the help we can give you.

We’ve been so busy I had to hire hubby to take over the shipping department, not that we ever had a shipping department, but over this past month we made one!   He was hiking a Santa sack to the post office pretty much every day filled with goodies.  We went through eight rolls of packing tape wrapping parcels.  Thank-you to all that placed orders and took advantage of the free shipping!   It is a pleasure to serve you for your hooking needs.

One day when hubby and I we were both wrapping orders, I wondered what it must be like to receive one of our packages in the mail?   I imagined opening the Kraft paper wrappings or box to find Shane’s dyed wools, colours exploding and longing for my touch.  Finding pattern or patterns expertly drawn by Deborah, marker lines transpiring into unique and whimsical designs, patterns to dazzle my imagination and start day-dreaming over. 

Kits, a combination of Shane’s dyeing and Deborah’s patterns assembled together like a wonderful puzzle waiting for me to put the pieces together.  Steven Scott’s hooks, strip holders and beautifully crafted wood frames, exquisitely crafted pieces of furniture really, with their turned spools, beautiful joinery, satin finish and mechanically sound. Wow!

Each parcel we wrap is like a present, a gift to you. the customer.  We provide excellent quality and service and put a lot of care into what we do.  If we aren’t the top for quality I’ll argue we’re a close second. 

We are probably as excited to send you our wares as you are to receive them.   It has been a pleasure to provide our services this month to make sure your goods make their way to your home and you’re hooking projects.  Be patient, we’ve been working steadily to get your items to you as quickly as possible but at the risk of sounding too boastful......they are worth waiting for!

Sincerely,  Shane, Deborah, me and hubby!

I was one of the lucky people to receive an order this month. Checked everyday (even the day after I placed the order), could barely contain myself until finally it was here. Just like Christmas only better because it was February

So pleased with my parcel of gorgeous colors, and happily awaiting for the next one to arrive. You and your team are doing a superb job of growing this craft by making it so enjoyable by supplying so very much for your customers to choose from. The free shipping was a much appreciated gesture. Thank you!

My order was placed almost at months end so I am waiting. I have never been disappointed with an order! I would say service, from advice to packing is first rate and #1 with me. Looking forward to my package.
