Hello Everyone!
Today was very informative and wet. Apparently the rain fell heavily and the air conditioner was blowing and freezing us all into snow cones. Wait! Is it not June? Is it not supposed to be hot? Apparently NOT!
This morning, Niqua had a class with Chris Bylsma. Wait until you see her beautiful designs. And, Chris has agreed to come to our store and do a couple workshops. Please check our events schedule for the upcoming dates and plan to attend. Chris is really fun and you will love what you learn. I brushed up on crochet and cant wait to show everybody some of the new techniques that were taught.
Today, was the first day of MARKET! For those who do not know what that is, it is the time when the vendors display the newest products for the coming season and the store owners get the chance to preview and place their orders (this means we get to SHOP). Niqua and I got to see Stacy Charles from Tahki/Stacy Charles, Barry Klein of Trendsetter Yarns, Kirstin Muench of Muench Yarns, Candi Jensen, Sally Melville, Laura Bryant of Prism Yarns, again with Frank from Trading Spaces (TV show on TLC), just to name a few. We also got to see the incredible "corn" yarn from SWTC. Can't wait until it arrives in the store this fall. The Lantern Moon circular needles have been ordered and should be arriving in our store by July. Lots of easy and adorable patterns in which to dress those darling babies have been ordered from Debby's Wear. They look good enough to eat! Tomorrow will be our last day at MARKET. We will be starting our day with Cat Bordhi and then on to more shopping.
Time to go and get some beauty rest. Stay tuned for more from TNNA.
Cherie and Niqua
About Me
- Yarn Lady
- My husband, Duane (Dutch) and I started Yarn Lady around 1990. With God's help and guidance and with the help of some wonderful staff members and teachers, Yarn Lady has grown and prospered into a store where people can come and take classes and feel at home. Today we are blessed to take a back seat and have our business manager, Cherie take over the lead. You will find that she brings new excitement and insights to an already wonderful place. We can't wait to see what God will do through her leadership. Because Dutch and I want to fully retire, we have decided to look for someone who would want to step into a great business and bring their love and passion and lead Yarn Lady to even greater heights! We so appreciate all of our many loyal customers and wonderful staff and we just know that the best is yet to come!
