First day

28 Jan

Thank you all for your comments on our introduction! I’m speaking for Henry here, but I think one of things that excites us is the opportunity to work with such great people, crafters!

If you saw Henry’s tweet this morning on Spool of Thread’s twitter account, you’ll know that the Spool of Thread team is doing lots and lots and lots of renovations to our space. We have been working on things since  the beginning of December when we first got our keys. Nearly 2 months now!

Here are some photos from the very first day we had the keys. The store is very long and skinny, only about 15 feet wide. I’ve learned a number of times that your cell phone needs to stay in your pocket. There is no way you can race from one end of the store to the other in time to answer it!

We have nice 13 foot tall ceilings throughout the entire space. This area will be the cash counter, window display and retail portion (patterns and fabric and bears, oh my!).

And the winter sun shines through our windows perfectly.

Sadly, we decided to get rid of the orange kitchen.

There are a few more pre-renovation photos over at our flickr account.
