The newest reading material

These are the latest books and magazines. One to note is the Pints and Purls book for all you Stitch-n-Bitch fans. It rates the projects by the number of drinks you've had. It's pretty entertaining. Sorry they are sideways - can't seem to rotate them today.

Buttons, buttons, buttons

These are very cool ceramic buttons from a South African Fair Trade Company. They are machine washable too. The selection is great.

Cross Stitch Patterns

We just received several very nice cross stitch patterns. We have the floss and fabric as well. Come in and browse the selection.

Noni Patterns

Need a new spring bag. We have a huge selection of Noni patterns blooming and ready to be picked. These patterns are knitted then felted and alot of them include floral embellishments. They are fun to knit and funner to look at.
