Yikes, is it REALLY only three days until Christmas????

Here’s when we’ll be around, when we won’t, and when we can ship and when we can’t:

• Wednesday December 24th: someone will be around to answer the phone
• Thursday December 25th: CLOSED
• Friday December 26th: CLOSED (who can resist a four day weekend?)
• Monday, December 29th: we’ll be in the office, and CAN ship orders until NOON.
• Tuesday, December 30th: in the office, but doing INVENTORY, so NO SHIPPING
• Wednesday, December 31st: in the office, still doing INVENTORY, NO SHIPPING
• Thusday, January 1st: CLOSED
• Friday, January 2nd: CLOSED (again, four days!)

Just a quick update…nasty ice storm earlier in the week (what is WITH those this year???) has set us back a day or two, so please allow us some extra time.  Those of you who had ‘future ships’ set to go out today are right on time, so no worries there. 

Think spring for us, folks…we’ve had so much ice this winter we’ve starting calling the driveway/parking area the Biddle Glacier.  I keep expecting to see a wooly mammoth running down the hill…

We’re still pretty much on track for ‘same day ship’ on phoned, faxed or internet orders.  Those of you who ordered at the NYIGF should be getting your orders soon as well…those we do hold up until they are as close to complete as possible.

If you need something last minute for Valentine’s Day, folks, we’re happy to rush stuff out as long as we have stock.  We are expecting a delivery of Joyce Chen Scissors in tomorrow, but other than that we’ve got just about everything you’d need.   Just make sure you let us know when you place the order that we need to hurry, hurry, hurry!

It’s now 12 degrees here, and windy…though the 12 is warm compared to our overnight low of somewhere below zero.  Once it gets that cold it seems no one cares about exact measurement.  Brrrr.

Stay warm, wherever you are…hope your Valentine sales are great!
