When Shops Help Each Other

As Erin prepares to open a new Florida needlepoint shop in Stuart, she is doing a little visiting with Needle Nicely in Vero Beach.

Mary Agnes is helping Erin get started.  I love it when folks in the same line of business help each other out!  I think it's good for everyone, particularly their customers.

By the way, Erin's posted a video of the current state of her new shop.  You can read about how she currently plans to organize the shop and take a peek for yourself here.

Getting to Know the Shop Owners

I've been on the lookout for shop owner bios lately, since I love knowing more about the business owners who keep us in goodies, and I have three for you this morning.  I happened to stumble across this profile of Karen Milano, the owner behind Nimble Needle in New Jersey.  It makes me feel that we share something since we both taught ourselves crewel before we found needlepoint.

Then there is this look back at Needle Nicely's first shop location and building, courtesy of Mary Agnes Cussen whose shop is now in Vero Beach, Florida.  Blowing Rock, NC is not far where where I grew up across the state line in Tennessee.  I know those big old houses well!

And here we discover how 3 Kittens was reborn!

Does your shop owner have a great bio on their website?  Tell us about it in the Comments below or email me at chilly hollowat hot maildot com if the Comment section hates you.

Sherlock Knits

You saw it here second (right after NeedlePrint broke the news).   I want mine in pink, knitters!

By the way, I have no idea what politicized knitting is.  Must be a Brit thing.
