Hello!
Today was our most busiest of them all so far. We had lines around our booth just to purchase their items. I had all I could do to keep myself calm and concentrating on each customer as they came to the register. I didnt want to stress out by looking at the large lines. I can not image how it will be in November when we will be having at least four book signings done by Kaffee Fasset and Brandon Mobley. It will be busy then too!
We are having a great time. Still have not been able to get away to see what other vendors are selling. We will try to walk around before market opens tomorrow (last day). Barry Klein came by our booth again as well as Colleen Davis. Apparently, Colleen has produced a new Free Form DVD. Colleen asked us if we would be interested in selling it and we said we would. The DVD is very popular, in fact, we have sold all the copies we had today. Colleen said she will give us more tomorrow. Good thing, because we have many people still asking for it.
Patterns seem to be the most popular item that we have, besides the purse handles. Good thing that we have lots of those. Many customers that knew Jan and Jen (our new and wonderful teachers from Chicago) have come by to say hi and that they missed their beloved friends. "Hi Jan and Jen from Chicago! We miss you"
Well, tomorrow is the dreaded day! First, we have to attend a vendor meeting, then take a quick walk around before market opens. Once market opens, we sell those last minute items before we have to prepare to pack up until the next Stitches in Baltimore.
Off to work - until tomorrow!

P.S. Guess who we got to see today as a special surprise? Do you remember Tirzah and little Robbie that use to work at our store about a year ago? They moved to Chicago so they could be closer to family while Tirzah's husband went back for more education. Little Robbie is walking and talking and was having a blast eating an ice cream and afterwards climbing in the play pen full of yarn. He apparently is a climber and is very good at what he likes to do. Tirzah is expecting her second child. She is due in a couple of days. She looks really good and is in good spirits. They both said to say hello to everyone!
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!
