What a crazy day at the shop yesterday.  Busy, busy, with the phone ringing and people dropping by.  We have another new employee and she spent the day working on patterns and then she cut yardage for the shelves from the new shipment of plaids and textures.  12 new bolts (180 yards) of the best wool imaginable.  Soft enough to wrap a baby in!  Beautiful blues and a scrumptious lighter yellow, a colour rarely found.   One customer hauled off 12 yards of a mixed selection, it’s hot stuff baby!  

There’s also a fun ivory with gold sparkles, they are very light as is, but when you over-dye the wool with darker colours the sparkles really shine.  It would be great for festive rugs or angels and mermaids.  A bit of jazz for skies and water.  Name a time when a bit of sparkle wouldn't work! 

Our linen order arrived and another roll of natural so Shane has been burning  the midnight oil dyeing wool.  I’m busy putting out a few new designs in between chatting with customers.   Once again, we bent over backwards by dyeing wool on the spot, not just a colour from the rack but custom dyeing to fit a lady’s project.  We do that if we can, we like to please! 

Another customer wanted a mermaid pattern and I showed her what was available and she opted for a design I just discovered that morning in the filing cabinet that hadn’t been made up since the first one sold.  The poor thing was filed away and forgotten!  She went out for lunch and Nancy and I teamed up to get it done as quickly as possible.   It’s called "PEARL".  A reading mermaid sitting in a large shell that rests on an octopus, with tentacles holding up a lamp and morning cup of coffee.    I wonder what else is in that filing cabinet that’s forgotten….it might be worth a check.  

I got the word I wasn’t chosen as the vendor for the NS Guild rug school in May.  I was the first to show interest but they waited and when others applied they put all our names in a hat and drew one.   There was only room for one vendor.   I had big plans to take a a lot of product to make it one of the best shopping experiences for the students, because in the past few years there hasn't been a lot of selection, or so I'm told by my customers.  I was always one of the biggest shops to go to school, if not the biggest.  We didn’t take the job lightly, if you go you take enough to make it worth your while, there was no saying, "sorry I didn’t bring that!"   My entire shop would be in a  U-Haul and we’d hit the road.  It’s all or nothing for me!  We’d prepare for months and take a ton of stuff and usually I would design lots of new patterns to show.  Because the school is so close this year I might run a series of specials that week as lots of hookers will flock to this area to visit the school, check out the rug displays and see the student’s projects. 

Below, "THE FLOCK"  is the new PATTERN OF THE WEEK.  If you order it while it's featured we pay the shipping!

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Great Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Great Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Great Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO GREAT ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected] OR [email protected]

Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
