Breaking News: Melissa Loves Needlepoint

Melissa Loves Needlepoint isn't news to those who've met Melissa MacLeod, owner of The Wool and The Floss, but the fact that this is the new name for Melissa's wholesale line is news.  Her "Tools of the Trade" items will be distributed through Melissa Loves Needlepoint as well as canvases from A Poore Girl Paints.

There's a new website where your favorite shop can order for you and where you can get to know Melissa if you haven't heard of her already (second link below).


And there is an Instagram page to see pretty pictures.

We wish you well, Melissa!  Have fun and sell lots of neat goodies!

Jump Seat Therapy Luggage Tag Kits

I stumbled across cross stitch luggage tag kits from Jump Seat Therapy recently and thought they might be of interest.  Each kit comes with a printed piece of what appears to be Aida cloth, instructions, a plastic luggage tag you self finish, and a limited amount of cotton floss.  

The luggage tags aren't as nice as the leather ones we are used to, but the rubbery luggage tag looks durable and these are inexpensive, perfect for a beginner or perhaps to use with some scrap needlepoint canvas if you want to design your own monogram.
