FREE floss equal to your postage-world-wide!

    I have had more requests to run the free floss equal to your postage...and I am always glad to help when I can. Sooooo.......
Here is the sale, just as before. I have had a lot of International sales because this is such a terrific sale:


   I thought I would have a special sale to help with high (and ever increasing) postage costs. So....if you purchase the Complete 1795 Sampler Floss Collection (80 (20 yard)skeins, 1600 yards, $156.00) , DIRECT FROM ME and not on ebay, I will send extra floss equal to your postage cost. If you are in the states I mail Priority mail, around $6-8. So you would get 3-4 extra skeins of floss (different from the 1795 collection/some nice antique shades made just for this offer).
I will run this sale through June 30th.

   Lets say you are in The Netherlands, UK  or Germany....postage on first class is $16.74. You would receive 8 extra skeins of floss! 160 yards of stitching treasure.

Remember that you must purchase this set direct from me and not through ebay. When I save the fees I pass that savings on to you!
I will run this special sale through the end of August.

Don't forget we have a very special give-away to be announced on the 14th.....I won't forget!!!!
Thanks for stopping by.
