New Brick and Mortar Location...
As many of you may now know, I've closed the brick and mortar store front in Millington, Michigan. BUT.... We've taken on a booth at Enduring Reflections, which is just south of our old location, where you can find hand-dyed and hand-spun yarns, a small selection cotton, wool, and other natural fiber yarns along with patterns, books, magazines and a small selection of needles and notions. I won't be stocking my spinning fibers there but I'll be happy to meet with spinning/fiber customers by appointment ~ everything I have for sale in spinning fiber will be listed on the website. Just let me know what you're interested in and I'll bring it up to the booth for you to pick up.
The address to Enduring Reflections is 8516 State Street, and our booth is in the back. I'm currently working on stocking the booth but there are yarns there, as well as a terrific selection of knit and crochet magazines to browse so do stop by soon! You can reach me by emailing YarnoraTale@gmail.com. The number to Enduring Reflections is 989-871-5080 and she's open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It's a WONDERFUL shop to visit ~ Billie (the owner) has a fantastic selection of unique antique and vintage treasures as well as new gift items.
