FEBRUARY, 2026

 

           

       Winter has arrived here in PA. We have had very cold days for weeks, then snow with ice on top. I can say many of us cannot wait for spring weather to arrive. It has never been so cold here for days on end, and it seems the same goes for all across the country. Who ever heard of Florida getting snow. It happened this year. I guess our weather is changing and we are going into a cold, ice time.

 

      Other changes have been happening on the business front. Mirabilia is re-releasing Lady of the Flag and Queen of Freedom for America's 250th Anniversary as many of you are aware. They had antisipated shipping the end of January, but now expect to ship in February. As we have stated for months, items coming from Europe are taking longer than usual due tariffs and high postage rates. The same goes for some designers from Italy and France sending their products to our county. Mill Hill has had bead issues for months, Kreinik has had issues as well in supplying their floss. Again, all of their products come from overseas. Our craft is based overseas with most, if not all products, manfactured overseas, except patterns by U.S. designers. Again, please order well in advance to avoid any disappointment. We order as soon as our stock runs low and then we are at their mercy to send restocks. This past holiday season, we had packages stuck all across the country, and as of today, we still are missing a package from December 3rd that was stuck in New Jersey. These things happen when weather conditions cause shipping delays. Everyone's patience is appreciated. Some delays are beyond our control - we cannnot change the weather.

 

       We are still adding patterns to our 1/2 Price sale as we continue doing inventory. Any item with a counter means once it sells out, it will

not return no matter if it is still available or not from other companies. We are trying to make room for new releases that will be coming from our Nashville Market in March. Also, if you take a look under our What's New tab, you will see some new fabric colors in 14 Ct. and 16 Ct. Aida, and 28 Ct. and 32 Ct. Linen. Remember Zweigart and Wichelt have an array of lovey colored fabrics - you do not always need a hand-dyed fabric even if a pattern states that is what the designer used. Sometimes think out of the box. If you ever look at our shop models, I don't always use what the designer recommends - in fact, sometimes as was the case with the monthly series from The Cricket Collection. I not only changed the background, but I also changed the monthly letter color. We know the price of products used in our craft is at times becoming cost effective. If need be, change a floss color  or fabric, no one cares. Counted cross stitch is a hobby for you to enjoy.

Retail Shop Hours:

 

Thursday & Friday from 12:30 to 5 p.m.

and

Saturdays from 11 to 3 p.m.

 

If you see something on our web site, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - jot down the code number, title, and designer -

descriptions do not help us to find the item since we have over 25,000 titles in our store at all times - many having the same names.

Please do not put a phone in our face to show us a pattern - a title and code number works best.

Also, with having a web site, items do sell out but can be ordered special for you as long as we have a code number.

NOTE:   Please, please give any discarded products to our employees - not stuff in a basket or rack where it does not belong.

We are getting tired of looking for items, and not finding them where they belong

only to find them in wrong places weeks later making the customer who wanted the product disappointed and needing to place an order.

- Be Courteous and Think of Others. Remember - it could be you next time and our not able to find what you want.

 

For anyone who cannot muster our front steps, we do have a side entrance,

just let us know once you arrive, and we will gladly open the door for you.

Chairs are positioned throughout as well for anyone who wants to sit and browse through our racks and baskets of patterns.

We want to make your shopping experience pleasant and enjoyable.

 

Please direct any questions or comments through our e-mail: yeoldecs@comcast.net

or give us a call. We love hearing from our cross stitching friends.

 

Until next month,

Mary & the Staff of Ye Olde Cross Stitchery
