And when I say fabulous, I mean it! Thanks to all of the dedicated shopowners for attending the market, we couldn't do what we do without you!! After arriving on Thursday, I taught two classes on Friday. Saturday morning, Market began...KABOOOM! We were swamped which is an excellent problem to have. Everyone loved the new cottons, silks and perles and our new Halloween Towne kit with Raise the Roof Designs. Sold lots and lots and lots of the six perles that are used in the 2010 Shepherd's Bush Stocking, "Sadie". Taxi'd to the airport this morning, slap my bags on the security belt, and they pulled my purse for inspection. TSA lady digs in my purse and pulls out my Elena 8 inch shears. I gasped, so did Jennifer, I had no idea they were in there. I needed them to cut fabric to put in my class kits at market, but had checked them in my suitcase on the way there. There was no mailing option so I could send them to myself and I watched the lady toss my $100 shears in the bin. Sickening. I mean, I have another pair of Ginghers, but not THOSE Ginghers. Flight home was quick and so was the stop at the Attic to drop off Rosie the suitcase. Headed to Tucson and I'm sitting in my comfy chair with a happy daughter and two grateful puppy dogs. Mom is home and everyone is happy. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, I don't know how to do it from the MacBook.
The Market was wonderful, your shopowners are bringing home some really special things. I hope you enjoy the new threads.

Glad to hear about the successful trip to market. So sorry to hear about the Ginghers though. That would make me sick too.

OMG almost had that happen to a 4 inch pair thank God I was at my home airport and reached around the corner of the doorway literary and passed them to my mom to mail to me....
So glad market was wonderful for you!
I am just sick about your scissors :( So sorry this happend to you.
I am so sorry to hear about the shears! :(
My stomach is still reeling from hearing the thud of the scissors hitting the bottom of that medal bin. ACK!!!!
Oh Sharon, what a horrible feeling. I had just a fraction of the cost of your scissors tossed at an airport a couple years ago - and I was sick about that. I even tried to talk the TSA person into keeping them instead of tossing them out...
Glad your market was successful! Sounds like you all had a ball!
