Has really been a year?

Really? One year since ITW was launched?!

Over the past year I have learned more then I can even begin to describe. I have been blessed with many things since the launch of ITW, but none of them rival the friendships formed. To describe the past year is virtually impossible. Instead I will just say that it was spectacular and thank each and every person I had the privilege of working with, talking to, chatting with and in some rare yet delightful instances; actually meeting!

I think one of the best parts of ITW’s birthday is that it coincides with the Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool Festival which pretty much guarantees lots of colourful pictures in this post…

ITW - booth # 20 on april 24th 2010

In celebration of ITW’s birthday there will be a shop update on Saturday May 1st at 8:00pm EST. And, as an expression of my sincere appreciation; shipping fees will be disabled from 12:00am Saturday morning until 11:59pm Saturday night.

Thank you again and see you Saturday!

It is that time of year again! Time for the Clermont – Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool festival in Germantown NY!!

Thinking of last year practically brings tears to my eyes – I cannot express how amazing it was to be part of that festival. The day was spectacular, the people were awesome and the response to ITW was overwhelming.

Once the schedule of events and map is made available I will let you know where to find ITW at the festival!

um. WOW.

I wish to Thank everyone who wandered into my ‘lil corner of the world at the Clermont Sheep and Wool festival. Your comments, complements, words of wisdom, squeals of delight, and yes; purchases, reminded me how incredible the fiber community is. Thank you.

Humble appreciate aside – Saturday was A W E S O M E .

[11:00am Saturday morning]

I could probably type for hours and not come close to describing how fabulous the day was or how incredible the people were. And I think that was is what it is all about – the people. Yes, I made sales, and appreciate them more then I can even begin to express, but, I got to meet so many like minded, creative, interesting, wonderful people. I look forward to seeing many of you again!

[4:30pm Saturday evening]

Before I head over to Etsy to open my shop doors, I one again thank everyone for their support and give a special thank you to the love of my life, James; a man who even on two hours of sleep managed to unpack the Jeep, assemble the display crates and calm my nerves all in the same hour. Thank you.

While at the Chancellor’s Sheep and Wool festival this weekend, be sure stop by the silent auction. Eight ounces of Falkland handpainted wool top from i.t.w awaits your bid…

See the title? See it?

Not only I am attending the Chancellor’s Sheep & Wool festival in Germantown NY – I will be participating as a vendor! Crazy huh?

Originally I had intended to simply attend and see the layout of the property, make lists of things that I would need as a vendor in 2010, take notes on effective booth layout; you know, research and prepare. Well, on Monday I changed my mind. I just felt that I needed to be part of this years event and I knew that if I did not make the commitment – I would regret it.

You may not hear from me for a couple weeks – I have so much to do! Before I get lost in pounds of fiber, here is some information on the event:
