You may have heard that we got a couple feet of snow here in Colorado yesterday. I had friends call from Florida and London to see if we were Ok! Yes 6 of our 25 employees braved the crazy weather and came in for part of the day. They were like determined Christmas Elves along with Paul who opened up early…because this is the week of our big Thanksgiving Sale and they wanted to keep processing those packages going out to all you good girls and boys! *wink*
Sophie and I went out and shoveled the 2 feet of snow for awhile, and then we made friends with the neighbor who just bought a new snow blower. Later my car got stuck in the road and the neighbors came out to help us get unstuck. That’s the Colorado holiday spirit.
Our golden retrievers had a blast leaping through the deep snow like bunny rabbits, but our cats were not as enthusiastic. I managed to catch the look on Dante’s face as he perched on a CD tower and looked out the window. This photo goes well with this Helpful Kitty fabric we just got in – you just gotta love those helpful cats who jump on your sewing machine, your piano, your computer, or even your kitchen table to ‘help’.
We’ll be in the office today to take your phone calls and answer emails before the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. Sorry we kind of had a Snow Day yesterday. Be sure to check out our Thanksgiving Clearance and yes…we promise not to bombard you with Black Friday emails because we are a family-owned business and we align more with Small Business Saturday.
I am meeting today with the executive director of the Wild Foundation and I should have some really exciting news in the Saturday newsletter. For those of you who appreciate our environmental donations, and our sponsorship of art exhibits, stay tuned!
MJ Kinman‘s “Unicorn Rainbow” and “Elizabeth Diamond” Workshop Registration is OPEN now for March 6-8,2020 in the eQuilter Classroom!
Many thanks to all of you who have contributed to my fundraiser for Earthworks. I am so excited that we have reached the halfway mark, and I would appreciate you sharing with those who might want to support this environmental cause! I am donating my Rocky Mountain Quilt and hope to raise $5K by next weekend. Everyone who contributes will be invited to a Virtual Tea – an online webinar about my work as an artist – and featuring photos I’ve taken in my travels around the world in 2019. I will be sending out details for this Virtual Tea event to all of my GoFundMe contributors as soon as the fundraiser ends.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
