I cannot believe that it is already the middle of July and it will not be long before the kids are heading back to school!  We hope you have enjoyed your summer so far.

Mike and I could not be happier to announce that we are now officially an Authorized Brother Dealer!!!  This is something we have discussed for about two years and now it has happened.  We personally own three Brother embroidery Machines, one sewing and embroidery combination machine and a Scan 'N Cut.  Brother has, in our opinion, the best machines on the market so it was never a thought to become any other dealer other than Brother.  The newest addition to our personal machines was the Persona and it is an amazing machine.

We are currently waiting on our dealership materials and our machines to arrive, but we will have a combined total of 15 sewing, embroidery and combination machines on display.  We will also be carrying the Scan 'N Cut as well as some Brother accessories.

We will be announcing some other news that will tie into this soon, as we are still working out some details. :) We have done all the paperwork in order to be able to offer you the opportunity to apply for financing too!  We are just waiting to hear back if everything went through okay and how long it will take before the materials for that come in.

If you are ever in the Lafayette, Indiana area come by and visit with us and when our machines come in we will be more than happy to show you what some of these machines can do.

Always Sparkle Brightly,

If you have ever created a website, you know it is a never ending process. We are constantly looking at ways to make the shopping experience easier and checking out quicker because let's face it, we live in a very fast paced world.
One of things we have done is add names to the colored squares for our most popular vinyl lines. We will continue to work on this, but it is time consuming, so please be patient with us as we work to get through all the vinyl lines.

​When we launched the new website we launched a lot of items that we were not able to list on our old website due to the limitations on how the website was set up. Some the items we added were:
The star of the Debut was the new Sateen Vinyl which can be found under Specialty Vinyl.
New embroidery and HTV blanks: Infant and Toddler, Household blanks (casserole carriers is one of the items), Drinkware and much more!!
Thr Bird's Nest Tool
Sit N Sip
Table Mama
Glide Embroidery Thread kits in both mini and King Cone
Glide King Cone Individual
Embroider Buddy Plush and accessories
Take some time and look around and see if you can discover other new items we listed on the website!

Always Sparkle Brightly,
​Kris
