What a Day!!

What a glorious day Easter Sunday is on April 8, 2012! I certainly hope to hear everyone who comes into the shop on Monday and Tuesday say that they experienced this beautiful day of celebration as wonderfully as the Ballentine family has. We were early risers and the grandsons were hunting eggs in their pajamas very early this morning. The bunny at their house was out at the cracking of dawn to hide those eggs. "Curly", his brother and his cousin were dressed so nicely in their rosy colored pants and blue shirts and were off to church in the "Grandma Bus" (alias on Sunday mornings for the Red Expedition car) with Grandpa riding in the way, way back with Jackson for half the trip and Wyatt for the return trip. The most painful part of the day so far for the youngsters was the time when thy had to stand still and look as though they were happy to pose for forty (more or less) snapshots of them on Easter. Yuk!! (their response). Grandma is loving the yard today, especially since there was radical surgery yesterday on the over-grown shrubs near the terrace. Now one can SEE the terrace with its beautiful slate and the space for a flower garden. Mema once had a bed of rose bushes there, but the wonderful, big, tall oaks and maples have shaded out the roses. What to put there now? We may need professional help to decide what should happen in that bed. It is not going to decide and plant itself; some one will have to become the decision maker and "foreman" for the job. Could be Grandma because she is in love with the newly trimmed space!

Get Prepared
At Heirlooms & Comforts we believe that summer and very hot weather are not far behind the spring vacation from school. So we are suggesting that you be prepared to spend time indoors with your sewing/embroidery machine. Another suggestion is to look at the Husqvarna Viking models to find the one best suited to your needs and interest. With that in mind we remind you that we have two Designer Topaz 30 models that are previously owned and are offered at a great price of $1999.00. That is a considerable savings over the MSRP of a new model. We also have the Tribute 140M and the Tribute 140C models that are new and are the 140th Anniversary models that celebrate the history of Husqvarna Viking sewing machines. Come in soon to test sew on these so that you are set up and ready to sew indoors in the summer!
