Yesterday was sort of a … meh day. The weather was crummy, I felt crummy, no one wanted to go out in the crummy weather, so business was crummy too. Last night a line of fierce storms came through the Valley, waking us all at 3 AM. I was exhausted before I even got out of bed this morning. And then I came to work.



This box was waiting for me, from our good friends at Koigu. Good and silly friends. (The Hamburgerlur thing is in reference to a black and white striped shirt I like to wear, which my son thinks makes me look like the Hamburglar of fast food fame. I guess Rhichard thought that was pretty funny.)
Then there were the e-mails from concerned suppliers, worried we’d been affected by last night’s bad weather. And the pot of blackberry jam from a customer as thanks for helping her out of a different kind of jam yesterday. And the new shop owner who commented on Ravelry that she wants to be just like me when she grows up. And the sun is shining.
This is what was in the box.

Thirty new shades of Koigu. Some old favorites, some we’ve never seen before. All of them gorgeous. I’m going to go take pictures now. Hope your day is as good as mine has been.

Meg, You make my day when I check your website and see news from Yarn Expressions and some beautiful yarn!! Thanks, Mary
Found you while seaching online for yarn shops. We will be making our annual 1500 mile round trip this weekend for Decoration Day in Phil Campbell, Alabama. I’ve always got one day that I’m at a loss to find something new to do. Hopefully we make it to your shop. I’m doing a mapquest right now to find you!
We usually stay in Decatur so we can eat at Big Bob Gibson’s and haul home tons of BBQ!
