Valentine Pictures....

Valentines... 

If my memory serves me right this is our 

first open house with a 

Valentine theme! 

... a checked heart pillow with a pocket for tucking

love notes is made from an old wool blanket. 

... old cream buttons strung and shaped into a heart

... scrappy quilt stuffed hearts

Now if I could only twinkle my nose and

have these multiply! 

... these are reproduction printer blocks. 

They have been a very popular item in the

shop but, are now being discontinued. 

I wanted to use up what's left so I put some sayings 

together and added a little wire for displaying

pictures, postcards... Valentines!

 ... chalkboards!

This particular one is sold but we have others.

Leave your Valentine a sweet message!

Go to the website for more information 

on our events & Saturday hours! 

Here's the news...

... #1 we are having a 

Be Our 

Valentine

 Open House!

... NEXT WEEK! 

It may not be as stocked as we like

our events to be but, considering our

weather lately it's the best we could do!

I think a little Whistle Stop fix is better 

than none... I hope you think so too!

... #2 our Shopkeeper Saturdays

are back! 

Open Saturdays

10-4 

beginning in February!

... #3 we've rented a "work shop"!!!

This may not seem like huge news but,

after years of just working out of our garage

it is huge excitement for us!

It will mean less time making room to work

and more time actually getting work done!

 More space =  more product that 

will make it's way to the shop

each week! 




I am still rescuing my mailing & email list.
Postcards & emails will hopefully go out 
tomorrow or Friday at the latest.
If you follow the blog & are a customer
of the "SToP" please pass the word!


I will post some pic's of projects for 
our Valentine re-opening as soon as
I find my cord for my camera. 
???
Still working on that 
"get organized" 
"to do" list! 

Where has the month gone?

Wow, the month of January is almost over! 

I have to admit I'm not much of a fan of 

the month of January. I think that the fall & holiday 

season is sooooo busy for me that when I finally get a

 chance to  "stop"... I really stop... can't find motivation 

to save my life! I look forward to February as it 

usually brings a few nice days here in the Midwest, 

the days become a little longer & spring is in sight! 

My "down time", " to do" list has 

few things crossed off... but,  that's o.k. 

Things will get done eventually. 

My computer has also been doing some weird things...

 lost all my pictures :( ... and my mailing list :(

... and unfortunately to back them up was on my 

"to do" list... and was not crossed off! I do have

 my old mailing list on my old beast of a computer but,

it does not have all my updates. Again... just 

trying to breathe and take it all in stride. 

I do have some news, good news,

 that I will share tomorrow when I can get some 

pictures uploaded. For now I'm hittin' the hay" 

as my dad used to say. I have a bit of the sniffles and

Vick's rub & rest are on my "to do" list tonight.

check!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a new year 

full of  peace & possibilities! 

I'm having problems with this post. Although the picture

isn't looking how I wanted the sentiment is the same.

Happy New Year!
