New car, new store, new website look



The past few days have been a whirlwind of activity resulting in 1) a website update 2) the purchase of a car and 3) the addition of another retail store. First I want to give a big SHOUT OUT to Rachel from Reflections Website Services. She gave our website a makeover two years ago, and she just made some requested updates for us. Check out Home Sweet Homespuns and see what you think.

Secondly, my car has been broken down more than it's been running the past month. Friday we picked up my "new ride" and I am definitely enjoying it! A business friend Renee from Walls Made For Talking has my new Home Sweet Homespuns business decal ready to mail tomorrow. Check out her site for a great way to advertise your business or add flavor to your walls.

Lastly, the newest retail location to carry samples of our curtains and provide custom ordering services is Pine Cone Gift Shoppe right here in Uniontown, Ohio. Gary Chapman provides an awesome design service, and our custom curtain line will be an added benefit to his customers. His new website is under construction and will be available soon. In the meantime, check out a past article in our local paper about his store.

We're gearing up for the next Country Sampler Magazine ad that is due on store shelves any day now. It is the Fall issue, which means we're soon approaching the busiest time of the year. Is it possible that the holidays are right around the corner?!! We've barely turned the a/c on with the cooler temps this year, but time is flying by and soon we'll be decorating and whistling Christmas tunes.

I hope you are all enjoying the summer. Until later. . .
