A quick note about my shares.

I just wanted to post a quick note about my shares. I recently had a complaint about one of my shares so I wanted to post an explanation.

My organdy ribbons (solid, striped, polka dot) come to me on 25-yard spools. The spools are not quite 25 yards, so when measuring yardage, some of them (about every 5th one you receive) will be in two pieces rather than one. I always make the short piece at least a foot, plus add a bit extra to hopefully compensate for having to deal with 2 pieces. Personally, I think it's worth the pain of dealing with 2 pieces to get such a great price.

I've sent out hundreds of shares and this is the first complaint. I just wanted to make sure everyone is aware of this and give anyone who wants to, the chance to back out.

Here's a great picture sent to me by lchristiansen on SCS. What a fabulous way to store the ribbons!! Thanks so much for sending it my way!

I also wanted to apologize for being out of touch the past 1 1/2 days. Our router went on the fritz yesterday afternoon and it took until now for my hubby to get to the store, buy one, and get it hooked up.

So, in the meanwhile, I've been baking a batch of honey oat bread using my newly acquired hard white wheat. I ground it into flour today and baked up some bread. Actually, it's baking now and it sure smells good!!

I've got an inbox full of e-mail with requests for the eyelet share and ribbons. I'll get to them as fast as I can. Just know I'm not ignoring anyone.

New Eyelet Share

I'm starting a new eyelet share. This one is really unique because I'm having eyelets custom made in our favorite 48 colors. I'm also doing neutrals and "in" colors.

The details are:
  • 54 colors of eyelets
  • 5 neutral colors (vanilla, white, gray, black, and sand)
  • 50 of each color, plus an extra 50 black
  • 3,000 total eyelets
  • $40, which includes shipping and delivery confirmation
  • $23 for 1/2 share, 25 of each color, 50 black
At this point, I am only taking reservations, please do not send funds. I have to purchase 10,000 of each color in order to have them made. This means I need to fill 200 spots in order to make this happen. If you would like to participate, please send me an e-mail at pinkhedgehog@yahoo.com. I will make a list and you will receive an e-mail response if I am able to do this. It takes 35 days to have the eyelets made, so I anticipate delivery to you will be in 2 months from the date I give the manufacturer the go-ahead. Once I have enough participants, I will have everyone start sending funds since I have to send 1/2 of the money in order to get them made.
