The Needle NewsJune 2010
Greetings!

It is hard to believe that the end of June is here.  In the past month I have been to New York City and Columbus Ohio.  New York was to help with a photo shoot for the spring magazines from Filatura di Crosa.  The life of a model sounds great until you see them work.  Then I was off to Columbus to see the new yarns, books and accessories for fall.  This fall is going to be very exciting.  Watch my blog (which has a new look) for previews of what is coming.  I will be in the store for a few weeks and then I am going to take a vacation-golfing in Myrtle Beach for five days.  Sarah will be working in the store and you can still reach me by email.

Don't forget that the store doesn't open until noon on Fridays and we are closed on Mondays until the end of August.

We have finally set the dates and times for the Tent Sale.

The Tent Sale will be held at the Parish Hall of St. John's Anglican Church in Ancaster.  Please note that the Parish Hall is on Halson Street (not on Wilson Street) half way between Wilson and Golf Links. 

If you are turning from Wilson onto Halson then the hall will be on your left hand side.

If you are turning from Golf Links onto Halson then the hall is on your right hand side.

There is plenty of parking around the Parish Hall building.
