Trust you all had a lovely T-Day. We had a small but congenial gathering here, our first without Amanda who started the tradition of being here with her friends 14 years ago and who was with us in spirit. I took Friday off, so am just now reporting on the few new items in the store. Our T-Day samplers are rather fractured (and a bit past the point) so I will hold off until we have new ones.
