Happy Black Friday

Well, it's over. The day has come and gone and we are left with memories. Memories of loyal customers and friends we have encountered, shared with and look forward to seeing again. The day was a great steady flow of traffic from 8 am when we opened to 6 pm when we closed. It felt like 2006 all over again. My heartfelt and a sincere THANK YOU to all who showed up and took time from their busy schedules to stop by.

Handmade Holidays at Adelia's Closet - 2009

Have you seen our webpage? Once again, this is our fifth annual 50% off sale. In prior years, we've offered it only on the strands, but this year we figured why not have it off for the whole store! The customers always asked for it, and sure, why not give it to them!

We will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday this week for some rest and relaxation.

Jay remembers growing up, his mother was an avid knitter. For Christmas every year she would start in mid summer and every night after dinner, she'd park her fanny in the chair and continue where she left off the previous night. All tolled, she would make about 20 sweaters. There were mostly the scandinavian style with the fancy colors around the neck and shoulders. Most of the sweaters were given as gifts some she would drop off at a local resale shop and some were special orders in specific colors as gifts from the guys she worked with.

It wasn't so much of a money saving exercise, but more of a way to keep her mind active and busy. Man, that women knitted so much she got tennis elbow! Working with a different medium was also fun for her. She would cross stitch, embroider and needlepoint. My dad on the otherhand, spent his time in the basement, puttering with building something, and he was an avid reader. Dad would have loved to have the internet in his day, he'd never sleep! My Dad was the jewelry maker in the family. He'd carve pendants out of wood, make molds and create plaster casts and had a rock tumbler that ran 24/7. Vibrated throughout the whole house.

Well, this wasn't hard, I was reminded by Michelle and Jean the other day that i've been too lazy and hadn't updated the blog since the end of August. Well, I don't have to wait to New Years to make a resolution. I promise to be a little more active, thanks for the reminder.
