Well, we're back from our recent S.C.A. event, the St. Martin's Day festival in New Jersey. Unusually for Fabric Dragon, Kirsten got to take a class, mostly because they had the class right next to our table, but you take your victories where you can find them!
So, Kirsten brought home a partially finished basket from the basket weaving class, and a pile of reeds, and attempted, in a house full of cats, and with an extremely interested dog, to wave long, tempting reeds about in a manner meaningful to finishing a basket. The cats and the dog think that basket weaving is a fine craft, and that Kirsten should get more of the long wavy reeds for them to play with. In any case, thank you again to the teacher of the basket weaving class!
Our next event is scheduled to be the Stierbach Holiday Faire in Manassas, Virginia on Saturday, November 23rd, 2002. If there is anything you are particularly hoping that we will bring, please let us know in advance, as it is a bit long a drive to run home for something we forgot.
As we get closer to the holidays, our suppliers take longer to fill back orders, shippers take longer to ship, and generally delays start piling up. If there is anything that is not in stock that you need from us, we need to get the orders in to the manufacturers now.
You also need to remember that the less expensive three-day and ground shipping stops being guaranteed as to delivery times in mid-November by some shippers. By mid-December there is almost no point in anything but two-day or faster shipping.
As always, Fabric Dragon is delighted to gift wrap or decoratively package any of our merchandise at no extra charge. Special packaging, such as ring boxes shaped like Fairy Tale coaches, or wooden storage boxes, are an extra charge and need to be special ordered. Our usual gift wrap is not holiday-specific, although holiday-specific gift wrap is available by request.
Blessings,
Kirsten
