Snow Surprise!

Got lots of pretty snow stuff going out today. I settled on a snowflake doily centerpiece for the table, a set of 4 snowflake coasters, a sparkly snowflake bookmark, a snowman dishcloth, and the most adorable snowman coffee sleeve you've every seen. Wanna see?

SURPRISE!

Just in case you haven't heard,

BIG NEWS!

Rows and Roses is now stitching up Surprise Packages! And who doesn't like surprises?
There will be a new theme each season, with maybe an extra holiday or other even thrown in. This is a GREAT way to receive fun hand-made items, for yourself and your family and friends. They also make great gifts. Now your gift drawer will never be empty.... unless you decide to keep all of this wonderful stuff for yourself. I won't tell ;)

Each package will contain 4-6 items, all centered around a theme. Our summer packages have already gone and out and been received, so I'll share them with you here.

~SUNFLOWERS~
This gorgeous Surprise package contained a set of 6 coasters, a dish cloth, a hot pad (my favorite!,) a bowl, and a cute little towel ring to hang on your oven handle.

 And here's the set altogether. It really was a fantastic set of wonderful, summery kitchen stuff :)
The retail value on the packaged items came to $63, but the packages sold for $50, so that's a $13 savings!


AND NOW

The new autumn packages are open for orders! Can you guess what they are?

Acorns!

That's right, we have Acorn Surprise packages in the works! They opened for ordering today, July 15, and they close next Friday, July 22. So make sure to get your order in. You don't want to miss this one! It's packed with awesome goodies, at a great savings. All info, as well as the order form, can be found here:

Post-Fest Sale!

The Strawberry Fest has come and gone, and it was so much fun! Sarah, Cynthia and I had a blast hanging out, listening to live music, and connecting with other vendors. The kids had fun, too, watching a magic show and eating pizza :)

Of course, the kids didn't stay all day, but they sure made a valiant effort.

We sold lots of stuff, but still had lots of stuff left, so I'm offering everyone our "exclusive Strawberry Fest pricing" on everything! Yup, every single thing that did not sell at the fest is for sale NOW on my facebook page and in my group.

Go check out all the stuff! There are fun strawberry-themed items, as well as other stuff, including some of our best sellers- soap savers and key-ring lip balm cozies. There are a few shawls, some toys... really, something for everyone! Everything is going quick, so head on over while there's still stuff left.

Get your nest full of eggs!

It's that time again! Spring is around the corner and Easter is coming up. What better way to celebrate than with a pretty little nest full of eggs? They make a wonderful addition to any child's play kitchen, and they make a great centerpiece for your Springtime table. Delight your loved ones, big and little alike.

Each nest come with 5 palm-sized eggs, all made of 100% acrylic and filled with Poly-fil stuffing for a soft and springy bounce. Each egg will be a different color. Colors may vary from pictures, but all will be soft, shiny, shimmery pastels.

These sets retail for $20 each, but with the coop discount, they will only be $17. That is, unless we hit $1,000 ordered pre-discount, in which case they'll only be $16! And for the first time ever, there is NO LIMIT on how many sets you can order. Get a set for every sweet little loved one in your life (and maybe one for yourself!)

It's super-easy to order. First click and fill out this private database with your name, address, email, etc. This is the most important part. If I don't have your billing and mailing info, then I can't send you a nest with eggs! So make sure you DO THIS FIRST!

And then click on this spreadsheet and enter your order. Just find a column that doesn't already have someone's name in it, and there ya go :)

It's so easy! And before Easter delivery is guaranteed.
Please share this opportunity with your friends and family (unless you're surprising them with a nest full of eggs, of course!) Who wouldn't love to receive a little bit of handmade love this Spring?

*NEW PATTERNS*

Rows & Roses has just released some new crochet patterns in my Ravelry store! I've had a bunch of half-finished patterns languishing in my "drafts" section forever, so I've decided that this year I'm going to get them tested, finalized, and put up for sale. I'll try to have a new clutch of patterns available every couple of months this year. If you crochet, are wanting to take up crocheting, or have a friend or family member who crochets, please please please go check out my patterns. And spread the word for me!

First up is my famous and well-loved potholder. The Best Potholder You'll Ever Own, in fact. Made of 100% cotton, and folded double and seamed, this potholder can take the heat.

Then I got Leyla's stuff finished up, thanks to the best tester in the whole world (not to mention a pretty amazing friend) Sarah M. Thank you Sarah for all you do for me!

Leyla's Hat and the matching Leyla's Mitts are now up for sale.

 Bulky yarn + big hook + simple stitches = quick and easy projects for everyone!

Then there's my Chakra Crystal Bowls pattern. I whipped these up for lovely Lisa of Reiki with Lisa B. so she would have some coordinating dishes to use for her crystal work. The yarn comes in such vibrant and saturated colors!

And of course my other patterns which were already in the store. Check them out, too:

Key-ring Lip Balm Cozie

Nicole's Faux Cable Cowl

And my best-selling pattern of all time, Maracas Bowls, set of 6

Thanks for looking! Please share on social media to spread the word so that others may see my patterns. The proceeds from Rows & Roses enable me to stay home and homeschool my kids, take care of our little homestead, pay bills, and help buy groceries. I'm so thankful for every customer and friend who helps support my business. I couldn't do it without you <3

FLASH sale happening now.

I've got my famous potholders up for sale in the facebook group today! These are the best potholders you'll ever own. I use mine to take cast iron out of a 450 degree oven, and have never had a problem with them getting too hot. They are double-thickness, made out of very tightly plied 100% cotton yarn, and they come in gorgeous colors! If you're in need of a good potholder, you better hurry and check it out: these are a favorite and will sell out fast!

We're in Full Swing Now

I wanted to drop in to let everyone know that we start our new home-school year tomorrow, so from here on out I will be mostly unavailable until sometime after lunch Monday through Friday. I check messages and tags on facebook, and emails, first thing in the morning, and as long as it's not super-involved, I'll try to get back with you then. Otherwise, even if it shows that I've seen your message, I will get back with you later in the day. I promise I'm not ignoring you smile emoticon:)

On another note, one custom order has shipped, another order is finished except for blocking, and I'm starting the third order today, so we're making GREAT time on the list. I may even open it back up for one or two more orders in the next couple of weeks. If you're interested in placing an order, you'll want to keep an eye on the facebook group or the biz page to see when it opens back up.

 And don't forget about the FLASH sale coming up at the end of the month! Pics of everything to come.

If you ever need to contact me and you're NOT on facebook (or just don't prefer to use it,) you can always email me at rowsandroses @ yahoo . com  I love to trade, I love to collab, and I love to coop, so whatever you may be interested in, I'm sure we can work something out.
