Finally, after months of waiting the Stainless Steel Cans 819A08 are back in stock!  They’re a little different, oval instead of round (which we prefer, actually) and the price is the same.  If you have a pending back order that is ‘current’ (from within the past three months or so) or if you’ve asked about them and your back order is older we’ll be sending them this week.  Otherwise, we’ll be in touch to make sure you still want them. 

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!
