Farewell Butler, Hello Harmony.

Well, this is it, my last post while the shop is still located in Butler.  DYNT will be open at the Markethouse on Thursday the 22nd (10am - 6pm); and Friday the 23rd (10am -4pm-ish).  The phone will be disconnected on Friday.  Be  sure to stop in and say hello and goodbye.  Pick up your last minute gifts for the knitters on your list.

Next week, DYNT will be closed.  We will be moving to our new location in Harmony.  We're looking forward to the move, which is good - 'cause otherwise why would I move the shop?

For the time being, the hours at the new location will be Wednesdays & Thursdays 10am - 6pm and Saturdays 10am - 4.  I know they are a bit goofy, but I've still got to go to work at my other job on the other days... bear with me in this and I'm hoping that eventually DYNT will be open more "regular" hours.

Also, The Center of Harmony will be having our Grand Open House on Saturday, January 14th from 10am -6pm.  Stop in then and see me and the other shops.  It'll be a great time and a great way to celebrate the start of 2012 and new beginnings for all of us.

Christmas is almost here...

Are you ready for Men's/Elves' Night?  I'm looking forward to it, myself.

If you haven't heard about it, on this Thursday, from 6pm - 9pm, DYNT will be open late for all those shoppers that have crocheters, knitters, spinners, and fiber junkies on their gift lists.  Send in your spouses, spouses & kids, parents, nieces, nephews, etc. - anyone who may have you on their gift list!  If you stop in before then, you can create your wish list for them to shop from!  Or send them w/ a list from home - your favorite types of fiber, weights or colors and we can help them shop.  We'll even gift wrap their purchases.

Sure, Christmas is almost here...and I'm looking forward to a warm, family filled holiday, but I'm also looking forward to a new shop location!  My DH and a few friends will be moving the shop over Christmas vacation.  If you haven't heard, as of January 1st, DYNT will be located in the Center of Harmony, in Harmony PA.  The new address will be 253D Mercer St., Harmony PA 16037.  I'll be sure to post the phone as soon as I know it's working...that's a long story.

If you haven't checked out the new space yet, the Center of Harmony has a website.  Be sure to check out my new neighbors.

Doesn't look like much...

 

Well, in just a few short weeks, this empty space will be a fiber arts shop - filled to the brim with supplies and goodies for all your projects.  It's a diamond in the rough right now.  I love the space, but am sure that some of you are looking at it and thinking "Is she crazy?"  To quote Sheldon Cooper, "I'm not crazy.  My mother had me tested."

I'm a bit nervous about the move myself.  Change is, well, change.  It can be scary, regardless of how positive or negative, big or small that change is.  And quite frankly, I'm moving at one of the busiest times of the years, both in the retail world and in most of our personal lives.  That has it's own set of pros and cons.  The pros are that it is a time when my hubby and a few others have time off from their regular employment and while most of you are visiting with your families, you aren't busy shopping and running about - unless your knitting cousin in in town!

One of the cons is that it's in another town...moving a shop across town is one thing, moving it 15 miles is another.  Pray this unseasonably warm weather holds!  Also, moving just adds to the regular holidaze we all deal with.  This year seems exceptionally downcast in our household.  I'll be glad when it's over and this space becomes my home away from home.

Until then, I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the current location!  Stop in at the Markethouse this week and help me move - anything you purchase is less that I have to move!  Hint.  Hint.
