We have notified Paypal to stop sending those invoices. If you do get one, as Paypal can be slow with changes, DO NOT PAY the invoice. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">****If you have any old unpaid invoices do not pay those either.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Please order on the other sites. Our available floss sets are shown there.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">***Important price increases are reflected there. Wholesale floss prices increased drastically over a year ago and we continued to keep the prices low as long as we could. Our shipping costs have gone up and other wholesale prices are on the rise.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">The listings for floss will be for 6 or 12 skeins. Titles will be Limited Editions or Primitives and then will change each month.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">We will list in batches each day so we can keep to shipping within 24 hours of orders placed. We will list more each day from the 1st-15th of each month. You can then purchase the club and amount you want and re-order if you want more.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Linens will be listed each month and you can purchase colors and counts you like. This will be much easier.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">From our previous post:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">We thought it would be easier than adjusting invoices for postal increases since they will calculate exact postage for you, current supply increases.....and you can purchase the months you want or extras of any club. Paypal and many other payment options with either site and orders are shipped within 24 hours. The best part.</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: large;">This will help us since many of you have occasional vacation holds.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Or when you need to skip a month. Or pay on a certain date.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Or buy an extra month for colors you like. Change of address or club shipments, etc. It gets crazy changing your invoices for you so now you can purchase the sets you like or you can alternate primitives with limited editions. Or change linen counts.</span></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="font-size: medium;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">Ebay site is here.

We thought it would be easier than adjusting invoices for postal increases since they will calculate exact postage for you, current supply increases.....and you can purchase the months you want or extras of any club. Paypal and many other payment options with either site and orders are shipped within 24 hours.

With many restrictions and lockdowns they continue to do their best to provide us with merchandise.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I have been told by my distributor that Zweigart is still 4 months behind in production but they have added a third shift to help them and hopefully they will get caught up. They have been struggling since last spring.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We were pleased to receive a pallet of 19 boxes of floss cones delivered by the freight company, 715 pounds of floss! The DMC sales rep told me they are working with 25% staff in the warehouse. We have been working long hours to dye and card floss. I do the floss 12 hours a day and Tom does emails, packing and shipping. I know it has been difficult for some of you who are anxious for your orders. We understand. We have enough floss to get us through 6 months and should have another shipment in 60 days.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">January and February clubs are still shipping and should be complete by early next week. March should ship by the end of March. This has been no easy task to catch up after we received back ordered inventory.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We thank all of you for understanding. Covid has made everything difficult and stressful for all of us.

We have received another shipment from Zweigart and DMC and we are working as fast as we can to get the last of the back orders out to you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We are finally getting ahead on inventory as we order as often as inventory becomes available. Getting stocked up is a huge relief as Zweigart in Germany is still 4 months behind in production and it is not getting any better from what we hear. Placing another order next week should put us 4 months ahead with our inventory for the clubs with floss and linens. We quit taking special orders so we can supply club members.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We know this has been difficult for you to be patient and we truly appreciate all of you.

All orders will ship by the end of the month.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Our customers are our priority. We understand some of you get impatient.....we truly understand But we are doing our best to process 600 yards of linen.....cut it, serge it, dye it and iron it! The we Dye, cut, count and tie on cards 400,000 yards of floss. We are truly working as fast as we possibly can.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">If you have not received an order by the end of the month please contact us.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We are at the mercy of our suppliers and a lot of other companies are in the same position. We read of shortages all over the web.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for understanding.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Tom and Nancy</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 24px;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06937342635631706195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103699536981617440.post-50186566756004313702020-11-26T06:04:00.002-08:002020-11-26T06:04:43.555-08:00Updates, shipments, linen and floss, oh my!<p> <span style="font-size: large;">We have received two large shipments of linen this week and have 50 bolts in assorted counts. As you may know, Zweigart in Germany had Covid restrictions starting back last summer and cut production. With increased demand they got further behind....and are now 3-4 months behind on production. We are on the schedule to receive linen each month and we are now in a good position with linen for several months ahead for the clubs.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We have seen delays from companies all over the internet and know we are not alone in this.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Our DMC orders are arriving and we have floss for 6 months for the clubs and hope to be stocked for 12 months by January. One can never have enough floss!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We will be working fast and furious to have the November orders out by the 30th if possible.....this has been difficult for everyone and we appreciate your patience. We are all in the same boat and working together is the key. Covid cases have been very high in my area of Illinois since last spring....we have not been to a store since early March and have everything delivered. With all the autoimmune diseases I have we simply can't take a chance.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">We thank you for your business during these difficult times. We are doing the best we can to provide you with our wholesale prices on linens and floss. We hope you continue your memberships through next year with us. Invoices go out each month until you cancel.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you to the 1078 members we now have in the clubs.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">A BIG thank you to Tom who has been answering emails and doing all the packing and shipping since July.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Be sure to join us for The Twelve Days of Christmas starting on the 1st. It will be a little different this year but we will have lots of nice gifts to share with you.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Nancy</span></p>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06937342635631706195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103699536981617440.post-68651317152979558422020-11-26T05:43:00.003-08:002020-11-26T05:43:42.223-08:00Happy Thanksgiving<p> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA9avzJBsOz-y54k4pXG2L1avP_x67wG2QL68OErGsnpncT7eDUVOx-tNbOPZ0c2MTNrXwZ51X_ZWyT-7gx4ZLkI2FOyZ28AAmTNHhLx2HjJP-ynQjDSE6I8kEy4m98wzjNmts0wvkAuA/s1600/thanksgiving+pc.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA9avzJBsOz-y54k4pXG2L1avP_x67wG2QL68OErGsnpncT7eDUVOx-tNbOPZ0c2MTNrXwZ51X_ZWyT-7gx4ZLkI2FOyZ28AAmTNHhLx2HjJP-ynQjDSE6I8kEy4m98wzjNmts0wvkAuA/s1600/thanksgiving+pc.jpg" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I hope your day is special....I will be celebrating with my son and grandsons who are the joy in my life.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Love,</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Nancy</span></div>Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06937342635631706195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103699536981617440.post-14852747231478506322020-11-01T04:57:00.001-08:002020-11-01T04:57:12.601-08:00Birthday Club winner for November<p> <span style="font-size: x-large;">I love to celebrate birthdays and it is always a pleasure to share with others.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;">Today we have a winner for the Birthday Club.

SO many extra orders and new club members this month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We will have a new shipping schedule starting with September.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have contacted our post office and we will take 300 packages at a time, starting on the 10th, and meet them at the back door .We can leave the boxes with no contact. I think this will help a great deal and we can have all the club orders to the post office by the 15th. The extra orders for linen and floss will go out by the 20th. We are swamped each month with extra linen orders and are processing them as quickly as we can. All linens are dyed to order.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you again for your patience. This pandemic has been quite an ordeal.</span><br />

SO many postal problems these days.....good grief.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We just keep trying the best that we can during a difficult postal time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We want to thank you.....we have received so many nice emails telling us you appreciate our efforts. We have only had a few nasty ones! lol But I guess not everyone is patient and kind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for sharing your postal problems with us too! Shipping from other companies that seem to have the same issues....missing packages, no tracking, sent to other cities and states....one gal said her package was headed to Canada and she lives here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are persistent and will continue to ship. We will continue to take good care of our loyal customers. We will continue to give you the best wholesale prices. Hopefully the post office will get it together soon.</span><br />

Things that slow you down....like a 50ft tree that comes down in a storm and hits your power lines and takes out power to 25 of your neighbors. Not a good day! To say we have been busy is an understatement.<br />
At least no one was hurt and it missed our garage and work building. What an ordeal.<br />
<br />
Now to finish the clean up and get back to work.<br />

.Oh yes....I have disabled comments for a while. I am so tired of companies posting their advertisements in my comments!!! I hope you understand.<br />
