WOW!!!!!! Where do I start----what a fabulous trip Holly and I had to Valley Forge. Yes it was cold, but honestly we saw and bought so much great stuff that the weather was hardly an issue. Hold on to your hats because there is so much great stuff and so many wonderful changes coming to Nutmeg Lodge you won't be able to contain yourself. This is the kind of shopping for the store that I haven't been able to do for many years. The whole place will be rearranged and new cabinets, etc. will be arriving to accommodate all the great things coming from all over. We will be getting these new items somewhat slowly but plan a great display for Easter with just some of the coolest things to spark up your decorating, to create wonderful and extremely unique Easter gifts for someone special. A fabulous array of gift and decorating items just for our special quilters and sewers. If you have a Secret Sister or a group that you shop for then you won't need to look further than Nutmeg Lodge to give the best present anyone ever received. And then you can give yourself a great gift as well. Now don't get too settled because when we get all "decked" out for Christmas in July, you really won't believe what you are going to experience. I can hardly wait for all of this to happen. It really is going to be the BEST EVER!!!!!!!

With all of this excitement, I can't even remember what exactly is new at the shop. Come in, check it out, stay a while for a visit---we love to see everyone. I will be at Retreat this next weekend and then it won't be long until Applique Academy. Stay tuned for more information on Nutmeg Lodge's chapter of The Applique Society. I will be announcing our first meeting in the next week or two. This is going to be tremendous fun. See you soon-Barbara
