Happy Monday

Monday, January 14, 2013
Hi Everyone,

The opening of the shop went great! Thank you so much for all of your well wishes. I read each one and I truly appreciate it.

A notice to all of my international customers shipping is going up on the 28th to $24 for a priority envelope. I am sorry I promise it isn't my fault. Domestic shipping is going up too. Yuck!

The inventory is still not updating on the website so I apologize again if we run out of something and I have to notify you afterwards. I am trying to keep up manually but it is difficult.

There are no pictures of Saturday it was just too busy but here are some others from my week.
Last Saturday was the first Bay Area Modern Quilt Guild Sew Day that we hosted at the shop:

This was an early picture I think we had about 15 people total.

My sweet daughter Erin turned 15 on Friday so we spent Thursday afternoon and night in Monterey. I had promised her  last year that we could stay at the Seven Gables Inn for her birthday. It is an amazing Bed and Breakfast.

Thursday we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium:

  1. Those sea pens are really cool! And despite being a scuba diver for a few years, I never knew sand dollars lived standing up like that!

  2. Love the aquarium pictures and really glad your open day went so well...but OMG in shock about the postage, that will have a big impact on my quilting. :-( I need to get an order sorted out with you xx

  5. Those sea pens are neat! I've never seen those before.

    I'm so happy your grand opening went well! I wish you only continued success with your shop and I will do my part by ordering online to keep you going. You carry fabrics my LQS will never, ever carry so I don't feel guilty at all about not shopping locally when I purchase from you.
