We’re back from our brief trip out of town, and just about everything that could possible happen did in those few days.

We missed the storm (good), lost our phone service at the shop (bad), and dealt with a crashed laptop so were completely without technology(ugly). We had to close the shop on Monday because of the snow (bad), but reopened on Tuesday to boxes from SCHAEFER YARNS and JOJOLAND (really good!). We still didn’t have phone service (beyond ugly). We arrived at the shop this morning at 7:30 to wait for VERIZON who gave us a time window of 8-5 to fix the phone line (good? bad? ugly?). So here we are.

And the truly good? We have to give a shout out to our amazing staff. HEATHER closed up on Sunday so we could make our flight before the snow, MARIETTA schlepped back and forth to the shop in an effort to fix our phones, GAIL, FLO, KATHY, BRENDA and PAIGE received, tagged and shelved all the new beautiful yarns. KATHY also went to our house TWICE to check and make sure our cats hadn’t locked themselves in any closets as one did while we were in NY in December, and KERRY brought her son over to SHOVEL OUR DRIVEWAY!!! How terrific are they????? Whatever else goes on in retail, we are blessed with a truly wonderful staff and we wanted all of you to know that.

Stay tuned for the next post about our upcoming weekend activities. We think you will have some fun at WoolWinders!
