Store Update
We are now selling sun hats. I am getting some millinery supplies in to decorate some of them with.
I don't have a picture of the popular chicken print apron, because it keeps selling, which is great! Sadly, I can no longer get that print. So everyone needs to learn to love the cowgirls as much as I do while I search for new chicken fabrics.
I've got more manly aprons in the works. 
For a while it didn't seem like my potholders were selling, then a rash of people bought them and suddenly I find I need to sew more of them. This is not annoying, this is great! 
This is a relatively new item I've been making. I love them. I will also be making dinner napkins. I don't really use napkins too much while eating because I'm a filthy heathen, but it's my plan to start only using cloth napkins with Max and on those occasions when I feel like being civilized. Just one more small thing I can do to reduce my family's waste. Plus, cloth napkins are WAY cuter than paper.
These are my manly sachets. They are filled with cedar chips and sprinkled with sandalwood oil to repel moths in the closet, or your drawers.*The on-line store should be open by September first (Philip is working hard to photograph everything while Northwest Online finishes building the site.)
*We are on the look out for a better location. We've gotten tons of great feedback from customers here in McMinnville, but being in the building we're in will bury us. We need a space further down third street with windows, natural light, and foot traffic. There isn't a lot available, but a few possibilities are being explored.
*I just recieved some new fabrics from Michael Miller, so I will be sewing up some new aprons and potholders in the next couple of weeks. I will also be going to the seattle fabric trade show and hopefully will order a few more fabrics there as well.
*On the advice of one of our best customers, Erin Bowman, I am going to start working on some fun skirts for little girls. Erin is an entrepreneur who started two sucessful stores here in McMinn. that she sold and are still going strong in the hands of new owners. That's a person you want to listen to! She has lots of great ideas for our store. Thanks Erin!
*We have started a mailing list, so if you come into our store, please be sure to put your name and address down in it to recieve store updates on promotions and new merchandise. Also, it just makes us feel happy to see names in the book because we have, like, all of three people in it so far.
