i have to say i would sniff at that. bottle green bias binding is a must! i love green

i will pm you tomorrow and we can organise something. dh has days off in the weeks anyway. and he's got a week off in a couple of weeks.

i like the look of your Tuesday evening knitting thing too.

it does feel totally personal.. a man came in today looking for bottle green bias binding,.. when I told him I didn't have it, he actually sniffed at me!!! like a hrumph kind of sniff!

awww shucks...you're all so nice
and thanks for the wishes for profit...I like those wishes best (examines very empty purse)
nickel I'm shut on sundays in Jan and feb...but pm me and we can organise coffee and cake in costa, and a look at the shop.

it does feel personal when they can't believe you don't stock something.

like, i'll get someone coming in for books that i finally sold reduced to a pound after having them on the shelf for 4 years and they can't understand why i don't stock them!

you've got books, too, haven't you, not just patterns?

i will come and see you soon, i promise - you're open Sundays, aren't you?

Congratulations! Really hope it goes well.

When the on-line side of things is up and running post again and I shall be sure to look at your shop first.

Good luck with it all.

It looks fantastic on facebook, just beautiful. I am fainting at your logo and stacks of ribbons. I live 150 miles away too but will be searching you out should we find ourselves in Kent . Best of luck for a busy and profitable year

but there are the odd ones who are not very nice when they realise I'm not stuff to the brim with every single item of craft paraphernalia

Haha, Welcome to retail and don't let it get to you!

thankyou..it is very exciting, but I am a nervous wreck underneath it all.
Thankfully most of my walk in customers have been so complimentary and positive and that definitely helps calms the fears,
but there are the odd ones who are not very nice when they realise I'm not stuff to the brim with every single item of craft paraphernalia... but I can't let them worry me (even though it does...and it feels oddly personal)

Looks lovely! You must be very excited about it all

Thanks everyone

Congratulations!

Just had a look at your facebook page and you have a mighty pretty shop front. I love your logo, it is very classy. Very best of luck with your venture.

Looks really nice Ingles!

I even googled mapped it

Thanks Anya ... T'is a shame you live so far away.

Wow the shop looks lovely.

Shame I'm 200 miles away

I will do, Anya, as soon as my website is up and running, and if you phone me I guess... and yes I'm very friendly to newbies, mainly cos I'm pretty new myself.
I'm just an experienced hand stitcher, but certainly not an authority... and I don't know a great deal about knitting/ crochet at all.. but my god, I'm learning quickly..
I'm constantly worried that someone is going to ask me an advanced knitting problem and I have no idea what the are talking about
and thankyou stitchthis
I don't know if this is allowed, but if you have a look on facebook for hoopandloop you'll find me

congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! fab news so lovely to hear of some one persuing their dreams

Do you take orders on-line?

Are you nice to the newbies who are not really sure what they are after? As in a 'I'm think I need a thingy to do a what it called?

and of course if you are anywhere near Tenterden in Kent, come and say hello

Thanks Tunip....

Best of luck with it
