bird + bunny sweetness...

one of the best things about having a shop is watching friendships develop.  and when they are between a precious little one and sarah, the pleasure simply magnifies.



remy and her new little dress made by her mama. jill was kind enough to bring it in to show sarah. she remembered that sarah picked out the fabric when our michael miller rep came to visit. remy loves this little bird we have in the store. she always finds it.

marie's bird...

it has been a mild winter in lyndhurst, ohio.  it is rare to see signs of springtime this soon, yet the entrance to our shop is sprouting. and tucked amongst the greenery is a little bird...


i treasure this sweet gift. it was neatly positioned in a planter delivered during our grand opening.  i remember the tears falling from my eyes when i opened the card and saw it was from marie bostwick, the author.  i have a special connection to marie. it was a chance reading of one of her books, a thread of truth, that confirmed to me we were heading down the right path with this shop and our mission. every year when i see marie's bird among the new growth of springtime, i am reminded of the beauty of her words. and thankful.

hexies in the classroom

last evening while i was listening to the science teacher chat about my son at conferences, i looked over and on the door spotted this...


i was so excited to see the use of hexies. they're everywhere right now in the stitching world. i offered my appreciation for utilizing a well known quilt pattern in the classroom. of course, it really is the other way around. yet the young teacher played along with me and told me that his grandmother quilts all the time.

it's cookie time...

a new shipment of the best cookies ever has arrived...


i know, i know what you're thinking. we are a fabric store. not a cookie store. tell me though...could you resist after receiving this cute message?...


seriously. girl scouting has always been a big part of my life. sarah is a third generation girl scout...


actually a first aid class i took as a junior girl scout saved sarah's life the first time i found her in her crib not breathing.  so it's mission is pretty important to us. it also just happens to be the 100th year of girl scouting. 

would you want to see some great stuff that sarah and her troop did over the years? click on over to sarah's blog. such great memories.  and i am so extremely proud of what my girls are doing today. they will always be like daughters to me and i love that we stay in touch.

ok...back to the cookies. they are $3.50 a box and as a courtesy to grace and her troop you can charge them if you are short on cash.  hurry though...especially if thin mints are your thing. the girls thank you. i thank you.
