Can't sleep .. thinking of yarn!
It's 2 AM and I can't sleep. Today 20 boxes arrived at the store! Yes 20 and that wasn't including the 17 that had arrived on Friday. Xmas in July I'd say......or scream! So while we got all the Smooshy and Baby from Dream in Color opened, and there has been many a hands laid across the bags of Silk Garden/Kureyon sock yarn..... I keep thinking about those unopened boxes. Classic Elite, Ironstone, Durango Buttons, Fighead Patterns, Y2Knit patterns, and more is on the way. I'm re-imagining the floor layout...Oh the hubby will kill me as I might have to make him re-build.......
I also keep thinking of some of the new knitting folks that I met today. Thanks, Shelly, Shannon, Cindy, Cheryl and Gary for all making today a great day. I hope you'll enjoy the shop as much as I do already.
Where do I put all the baby yarn, vs the machine washable, together? Still need to build the Sock section, although I am partial to the whole store being sock related.
Going to try and sleep now, dreaming of more yarn! Yarn dreams to all!

I like the idea of putting the baby and machine wash near each other. You can always rearrange and see what happens to sales later.
I tried to find your shop last night and couldn't. I'm going to try again this morning. If you'd like a hand putting yarn away, my kids and I could help--I've clerked in three yarn shops, and they think it's part of their job, too.

I think I will be stopping by soon from Kalamazoo. But I would suggest that you put your hours up to the top of your website where the address is so people don't have to sort thru the blog entries to find out when you are open.

Kay-
Thanks for the suggestion on the address and store hours. That information is now included in the header. Also if you check out our website (there's not much to it...YET!) the address (and map) and store hours are posted.
Thanks for stopping by,
MJ
