Everything in the store is at least 50% off

Wow!! Here we are, counting down the days and reducing the prices to 50% off the regular price. Today we made the difficult decision to not do mailorder any longer. Since we don't have that much to mail out, we have had to suspend the pick-up service and mailing something out now requires a trip to the mail center or post office. Being shorthanded already has made this difficult.

Thank you for the many letters of encouragement we have received. We're saying good-bye to our "baby" but we know that it will be in good hands and that Ginger and Steve and our staff and teachers will take it to new heights and exciting things will happen.

If you are anywhere in the vicinity, do drop in and check out what we have left. If you live too far away- our apologies. Please watch the newsletters and the website for news and reports and find out what's next.

Our son-in-law was here over the weekend and installed a new computer for us here at home. Now I need to figure out how to use it!!! :-)))

Annoucement from Dutch and Gaby






Happy Easter!







Easter is the most exciting news for Christians like ourselves! The cross is empty and Christ is risen!



We have more earthly exciting news at Yarn Lady. As you probably know, we have been looking for someone to adopt "our baby" and it seems that someone will. We are excited to know that what God has built over the last almost 20 years will go on and everything that is familiar and lots of new things will be there for you to enjoy. Our staff is excited that classes will continue and there will be a place for you to come and spend time with friends and fellow students. The new owners have lots of great ideas and enthusiasm to share with you when the transfer is complete. There is even a plan to move to a new location where the rent is cheaper so things can move on more smoothly.






To make things easier to transfer and move, we are having a sale of 25% off all yarn in stock. It is first come- first served, so be sure to shop while the selection is best!

I'll still be available through the month of May and after that, although no longer in the yarn business, you will be able to reach me personally via my blog at http://sayhitojesusforme.blogspot.com/




I hope you're as excited as we are! There is a bit of sadness as you can imagine. We have had a wonderful season and I will miss everyone a great deal! Perhaps down the road I will be able to sit at the table as a customer, go to Stitches as a student and just go down memory lane and count my blessings. Dutch and I love to remember how we started and how God built our business. We truly know that He wanted a yarn store and that He built it! It was a pleasure to be able to be His hands to do this. For the job, He brought us many wonderful and enthusiastic employees and countless loyal customers. We thank you all! May God richly bless you!

Memories

I was looking through the reams of pictures we have. What memories they bring back! I'll keep adding to this, so come back if you're interested.
