Almost Market
February, 2015
Dear Friends,
Well, here we are one week away from the Nashville market. Yay!!
Months ago, when we started the planning, it was comfortingly far off, but now it is coming at us so quickly that I sort of want to put on the brakes. Yikes...we have gotten a lot finished, but there is still a ton to do. Teri and I are getting very excited, and if we can get everything stitched, and kitted and shipped, we will be ready for the best market ever. Can't wait! (Well, maybe I can...at least for a week.) At the shop, we have a motivational mantra that we use: Pony up, little cowgirl--which really means: pick up the pace and is usually aimed at me. No one can keep up Teri's pace, but believe me, we are certainly trying. If we can just keep her from thinking up new 5 new projects for us tonight. We do have a great group of new things almost ready for Nashville, so keep your eye on our blog and we will truly try to keep you in the picture all along the way. We will post all of our new things early on Saturday morning the 28th, and I hope that you will love them as much as we do. We will try to add many of the fun things that we have found at the market throughout the weekend as well. Teri has already ordered linens for many of the new designs that are coming from Nashville so that we will be ready to go as soon as we get home. Remember---if there is something that you would like us to find for you at the market, Teri is on it. She is making a list and checking it twice, and we will be happy to look for anything that you would like. Just give us a quick call and it can be yours.
We will be having our Market weekend here at the shop on Thursday, March 5th -Saturday March7th. We will have everything out and ready with linens and threads and of course, we will have our yummy cupcakes to share. So, if you are in Utah, do plan to come visit us on those days and share in all of the fun. And if you aren't--just give us a call and let us personally gather and package up a wonderful market treasure bag for you.

The most fun you could have in a bag.
