Our Silver Needle Gift Certificates are offered in any US dollar amount, and come to you printed on a card, with gift envelope. They can be mailed directly to you, or to the lucky receiver... and have no expiration date. Some might think that a little piece of paper might not be the greatest thing to give but EVERY stitcher wants more things for that beloved 'Stash', or a new Vera Bradley bag... or a wonderful new pair of scissors... That special little piece of paper is just the BEST! The bearer can use them for our classes, Weekends, and all the cool things we have in the shop and on the website!!! Do keep SN Gift Certificates in mind! They're perfect! Please use the write-in box for your specified dollar amount. Then just go through the regular checkout process, starting with Viewing your shopping cart. If we are sending the certificate to them, on your behalf, be sure to give us a full address for them. There are no shipping fees on certificates, unless they are sent Priority Mail or UPS Overnight, 2nd or 3rd Day Air. Please let us know if there is a sentiment we need to include with it. We will need both your addresses. We will mail you the receipt, and the certificate to your special stitcher!
Wonderful Scissors! Styles from: Gingher; Dovo; Wasa; and some French and Italian Importers. We have an entire display case full of the most wonderful Solingen Steel Cutlery from Germany, unusual novelty scissors from France, top quality embroidery scissors from Italy -- just a wonderful array! (I kind of have this "scissor thing," and if you're a collector, you won't want to miss this page, either!) Click the images at right to see our growing scissor pages.
Dovo Crystal Nail Files A 'bonus' from my German scissor manufacturer, DOVO, the long glass nail file is 5 1/2 inches, and the shorter one is a 3-1/4 inch long glass nail file.These are absolutely wonderful to use! Because they're crystal, the file side will never dull. The grind is very fine... but really does a nice job. Just a perfect size for your purse or stitching bag, or even needlecase... these are functional and elegant! (My manicurist is from Germany, and she buys these from me each year at Christmas to give to the rest of her favorite clients! How's that for a testimonial?)
How's Your Stitching Lamp These Days? Been burning the midnight bulbs... but need a little more UUMPH? The Mighty Bright Rechargeable Floor Lamp We have a new magnifying lamp... rechargeable... LED... three light levels... totally adjustable head... covered gooseneck arm! It features 2X magnification with a 5X spot lens inside the main lens. Very sleek design, the whole thing weighs 14 lbs... the cord goes up through the stick, so there is no exposed cord if you don't want one! The battery will run the lamp on high for 2-ish hours and up to 7 hours on the low setting. There is also a AC power adapter included so you CAN plug it in. The lights adjust from warm white (closer to incandescent) to bright white (daylight balanced). It's a nice lamp. Bulbs are covered, nothing funny sticking out anywhere - very clean and sleek. We'd ordered them before everything shut down in February - sold them, and couldn't get more right away... but they are here now, and we are thrilled! Might be time for a new light in your stitching area!!!
The Duo Lights from Daylight Company Oh wow... this is a neat little light! It is LED and dims for 4 different light levels. It is SUPER lightweight, and comes as a table clamp, or stable standing light. (The floor version is due in at the end of May.) It has a cord... so not battery chargeable. What makes it really neat is the light design itself... it is two little 10-inch long 1-inch round sticks that spread apart in the middle, so you can direct your light where-ever you want! (My first thought is having it on your table at a class - and both you and your friend get a light!) The design is such that the light is directed down... not right in your face. The on/off switches are just touch buttons at the ends of the light sticks. The table version weighs just 1-3/4 lbs... (28 ounces) while the clamping one LESS THAN A POUND! The goose neck is covered in soft white plastic sheath, it looks so nice and smooth and clean. The clamp for that model is a SCREW clamp. It is not a pinch-grip thing... you don't have to squeeze it to death to get it to work. Right above the clamp base, you see a cylinder that is about 2 inches high... that is a 'screw'... so simply turn it to release the clamp, which can open as much as 2 inches! I really like this light... no magnifier, though. Lightweight, VERY packable, clean, white, daylight balanced light... really, really nice!
Miniature Vintage Pincushion from Sudberry House I've been seeing this little guy for some time, and finally ordered some for the shop. What a pleasant surprise they are! Sudberry House delivers a 2-3/4 x 4 x 1-3/4 inch box (it kind of reminds us of a tiny manger) with a design area on top of 2-1/4 x 3-1/2! Almost an inch deep inside, you can finish the top -- and still have a tiny storage area underneath the pin cushion lid. I don't know what we'll put into ours yet -- probably a small Blackbird design... doesn't matter... this is just the cutest little thing! Look around for something small to stitch, the box/tray/(manger!) comes with the padded piece to mount needlework.
Needlework Accessories from Puffin & Company A fun collection of Needle Nannies and Needle Threaders - all are made of copper, nickel, and brass - beautiful little pieces of metal art! Most feature rare-earth magnets, and there are many pieces that are offered as matching sets - both in the regular size and micro! Visit our Puffin Page to see them all!
Jeweled Magnets from Accoutrements This is a constantly changing collection of glitzy and sparkly magnets and needle minders. Some are enameled, some only rhinestones, some have a combination of both. Each features a pair of super-strong rare earth magnets. You can simply display each where-ever you would a magnet, or separate the two magnetic pieces and attach your 'little pretty' to something that is not magentic -- like your needlework fabric! All different in size, some are an inch, some are two. Very heavy-duty, too. Designs and subjects come and go... most are limited in production... that part is a surprise!
Fun Needlework Accessories from Sampling of Memories These Scissor, Thread and Needle Keepers feature vintage artwork from ads by DMC and Sajou. Dressed up a little with a mini-stork scissor charm, each metal square measures 1-inch in size. Pretty little do-dads to have! We'll send a combo of the two or make them match - if you have a preference for one of the other, please let us know in the order form's comments box. The Needle Keepers are the plain ones - no decoration at the top - they feature a separate rare earth magnet on the backside, so they will act as a needle minder, and can be placed on fabric. The ring at the top can be used for a pretty ribbon so you can attach this inside a sewing case if you'd like. The Scissor Keeps are the ones with the curved clam-shell clip on them. You can attach them to the end of a zipper on your needlework pouches, you can attach them to scissors... just about anywhere you can clip that clasp! The Thread Keepers are the ones with the open and closing key ring on them. Open the ring to thread on skeins or cards of threads you are using... or again, attach them inside a sewing case, or where-ever!
Q-SNAPS Cool little gadgets, Q-Snaps are INDISPENSIBLE! They are a very lightweight frame, designed to hold your needlework fabric tight, and straight on the grain...for neater and easier stitching. There are several sizes available... and each set in interchangeable with the others... but the newest is this teeny little one, which is pictured. Sometimes you just need a LITTLE something! Hard to decide on the best combination of sizes!!! Available are:
Q-Snap Replacement Clamps! How many times have you run your Q-Snap clamps through the dishwasher to shrink them tight again??? Here are new clamps to make life easier! Replacements for broken or those loose-fitters, the 5-3/4 size fits your 8 x 8 frame sides and the 8-1/2 fits the 11-inch sides! Each package contains 2 clamps of the same size. Just something we've added to our gadget wall!
Make sure you see what we have on page 2, 3 and 4! Sterling Silver miniature stitch charms, threaders, tweezers, beaded scissor fobs... just all sorts of things! In the interest of having the pages load faster for you, we've split our treasures onto two pages!
