December, 2023

 

         Happy Holidays - Christmas is right around the corner. Here is PA we are now getting the winter chills. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas with everyone putting up decorations. This past year has been full of challenges both personal and business. I am hoping some of our business issues will get resolved, and we can get back on track receiving merchandise in a more timely manner. We are still way behind in receiving hand-dyes fabric. Now that we are posting on our site available inventory of Picture This Plus, Lakeside Linens, and R & R Reproductions Fabrics it has helped eliminate trying to keep track of who want's what. Those who really want to wait, we are requiring a 1/2 Non-refundable deposit, and will ship once the fabric arrives. We will also be updating these brands of fabrics as we receive orders that we placed many months ago and have started to arrive. We always keep a good stock of ALL Zweigart, Wichelt, and Weeks Dye Works fabrics which never seem to take long to get back into stock once our stock depletes. I wish the others could follow suit - maybe in 2024 all these issues will be a thing of the past. We can dream, can't we? Since the holidays are fast approaching, remember our suppliers usually have stopped ordering restocks from designers, and wait until after the 1st - so if you are in need of anything in particular, don't wait to place an order. We have started to split orders, sending what we have and back ordering out of stock items. We then will send your back orders, once they arrive. This will speed your orders along, and we will pay any additional postage. Also, when you get a chance, I did get a new camera, so check out our Shop Model tab - I have posted an array of newly stitched Shop models that are now hanging our our store.

 

      So from all of Us - Hope your holidays are filled with Christmas Cheer, Good Health, and Much Happiness, and Have a Happy New Year!

Currently our Retail Shop will continue to be opened ONLY on

 

Thursday & Friday from 12:30 to 6 p.m.

and

Saturdays from 11 to 3 p.m.

 

If you see something on our web site, it is always best to jot down the code number, title, and designer -

descriptions do not help us to find the item since we have over 4500 titles in our store at all times - many having the same names.

Please do not put a phone in our face to show us a pattern - a title and code number works best.

Also, with having a web site, items do sell out but can be ordered special for you as long as we have a code number.

 

For anyone who cannot muster our front steps, we do have a side entrance,

just let us know once you arrive, and we will gladly open the door for you.

Chairs are positioned throughout as well for anyone who wants to sit and browse through our racks and baskets of patterns.

We want to make your shopping experience pleasant and enjoyable.

 

Please direct any questions or comments through our e-mail - yeoldecs@comcast.net

or give us a call. We love hearing from our cross stitching friends.

 

Until next month,

Mary & the Staff of Ye Olde Cross Stitchery

 

Dates to Remember (upcoming)- Mark your Calendars

2023 - Major Holidays that we might close the day before or after include: New Year's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Saturday after Thanksgiving due to Bristol's Christmas Parade (streets are shut down and makes it impossible to get to our shop), and Christmas Day. If there are any changes to this schedule, we will notify everyone by sending an e-mail to all on our mailing and will post a note on our shop door. If you intend to visit our shop prior to any of these days, please call before venturing just to be sure that we are open - no one wants to make a useless trip.

In Shop - Holiday Framing cutoff is November 1st, and and Sewing cut off is end of August. No exceptions!. This schedule enables our framer and seamstress time to finish your items in time for Christmas. We can take in framing after Halloween, but cannot guarantee holiday delivery. The same goes items that need finishing. We all want to enjoy the holidays - so plan ahead to avoid any disappointments.

  Trunk Show Schedule - We will be scheduling trunks shows this summer - Diana Graebner/Lynn's Prints is expected and well as SamSarah Design Studio. Once everything is set in stone, I will be sending a special invitation to each of the show with dates the show will be on display.
