Some Changes and 2 More Classes

Mary, Sally, Kathy, and I had a wonderful time at the Heirloom Market in Birmingham. Mary ordered lots of new fabrics, many for Spring delivery and some new trims. We brought back new fabrics, restocked patterns, and got some wonderful ideas. I will post some pictures soon! Children's Corner has some precious new patterns that should be in the shop within the next week!!!



We have a new email address: thesmockshoppe@hotmail.com. And, we finally have a Facebook page! You can "Like" us at "The Smock Shoppe." This is much easier to update than the blog, for those of you not familiar with FB. If you are on FB, please suggest us to your friends!
