Okay. I
admit it. I’m a hoarder. My house is wall-to-wall stuff. My real downfall is fabric, of course. As a child I learned that you never give away
a gift. At this stage in my life the
gifts are abounding. Earlier this year
George and I were trying to get rid of stuff but somehow more stuff has
accumulated. My little studio has
totally run out of room.
With all of that said, I want to get rid of our
once again abundance of stock items and stuff.
This week the pre-embroidered caps and visors in the photos attached to
this email are on sale for $5 (plus tax and/or shipping as applicable) each. This is a good time and opportunity to get a
head start on Christmas gifts.
This still leaves me with a houseful of
stuff. Maybe I’ll have a sale or
give-away each week until it is gone.
When I was cleaning out the kitchen cabinets, I had several beautiful
glass vases. I posted on Facebook that
before I dump them, I was offering to give them away. People posted that they wanted them but no
one showed up to get them. We ended up
just putting them in the recycle garbage.
It was a shame because they were beautiful.
It is kind of funny because the year our sago
palm had a multitude of babies, I offered to give those away and they were gone
in no time. That was sort of surprising
because around here sago palms are everywhere.
I would prefer to take everything out of my
house, get rid of it, and start redecorating from the walls, ceilings, and
floors, only. That will never happen and,
of course, I’d run across things I just could not possibly part.
You know this year I’ve been embroidering mermaid
beach towels for my krewe members’ birthdays.
Earlier this month we all attended a pool party and everyone brought
their towels. It turned out that I
brought a plain white towel because I never embroidered one for me. Oh, those girls scolded me for that. We are all getting ready for another pool
party later this month. This week I
embroidered a beach towel just for me.
Remember metallic thread? This week I decided to see how Clothilde (the
newest embroidery machine) would handle metallic thread. OMG!
It was a breeze. Of course,
through the years I’ve learned a few tricks with the metallic thread, but the
machine really did a super job. In order
to embroider with metallic thread the speed has to be cut, at least, in
half. That means that it takes twice as
long to embroider, which means that the cost of embroidery with metallic thread
is close to twice that of regular thread.
I just checked our price list and the charge is $2.35 per 1,000 stitches
with metallic thread. Oh my, it is
beautiful. I have visions of beautiful,
embroidered, Christmas table runners catching the light on the metallic thread
highlights. Call or email me and let’s talk
about designing one for your table.
The young bride who ordered the Godmother
handkerchief a few weeks ago contacted me this week thanking me for the
beautiful handkerchief and her lagniappe of a hanky for her with her name
embroidered on it. She said that she I
going to wrap her bouquet in her hanky for her wedding. The wedding was scheduled to take place
yesterday. She should be a married woman
now and on her honeymoon.
Have a wonderful week.

Mama used to tell me that
You Are My Sunshine was written by former governor Jimmie Davis, but I never
knew all of the words, especially the part about Louisiana
"You Are My Sunshine" is a popular song first recorded in 1939.
It has been declared one of the state songs
of Louisiana
as a result of its association with former state governor and country
music singer Jimmie Davis.
You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
My only sunshine.

You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You have shattered all my dreams;
