Craft Forum / Textile / Needlework / September 2010DMC Cherrywood floss cabinet from 1999
I have one of the cherrywood Floss cabinets I would like to sell but not sure where to go to post it. Does anyone have information? Thank you, Jean Marak > I have one of the cherrywood Floss cabinets I would like to sell but > not sure where to go to post it. Does anyone have information? > Thank you, > Jean Marak I'd be happy to list it on my forum. You can try RCTMarketplace, but I doubt you'd get anywhere. And, of course, there's always EBay.

Does anybody know where to find floss cabinets though? I've been looking everywhere and would up buying a Caswell and Runyon sewing cabinet and a Martha Washington cabinet off of ebay which I had to adapt slightly. >Does anybody know where to find floss cabinets though?

Do you have a local needlework shop ? If so, they could order a DMC floss cabinet if they stock DMC. Like many others, I went the route that one winds the floss onto bobbins and then store in divided plastic boxes that are made for just that job. A lot of floss, neatly organised in a small space. >>Does anybody know where to find floss cabinets though?

A lot of floss, neatly organised in a small space. Me too. I also have another set stored in a giant 3 ring binder, each floss color tucked into a baseball card plastic protector slot (9 colors per page). No kinks in the floss that way!

I had a knitting shop near me and I finally saved up enough money to take a class just to find out that they are no longer in business : ( Really sucks it getting to the point that cyber shops will be the only way to buy stuff and take classes > On Sep 14, 9:06 am, lucretiabor...@fl.it wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > point that cyber shops will be the only way to buy stuff and take > classes What is the name, and where is the LNS? I have been building up quite a list of LNSs around the country, and Canada, too.. If I have heard they have gone out of business, I make a notation of it. I MIGHT be able to help.

Those who are willing to turn to the internet tend to stay in business. Those who either flatly refuse to have a website or all that's on their website is "we're at 123 Main Street, open from 10-4 every day", are going to lose business to the shops who are doing mail order. 25 years ago, I had it out with a local business, Great-Grandpa opened it 75 years ago and his business hours were 10-5 M-F, and those were always going to be the hours. They were struggling because nowadays, most women work outside the home -- they were downtown working during those hours, not home in the burbs shopping. The owner's stance was that if they wanted to buy from his store, they'd take time off work. The working women's stance was that if we needed what he carried, we'd go out of the neighborhood to somewhere that was open evenings and Saturdays. And then he wondered why he wasn't getting enough business? Sometimes it's more convenient for me to shop at midnight. Most of the time, it's more convenient for me to shop from home. The company that works around my schedule gets my business. The one who tells me I need to take an hour away from work in the middle of the day doesn't.

Not only to hard to learn from books, but also that learning in *community* is so much more fun! The interpersonal aspect is so important! Sue SignatureSusan Hartman > Not only to hard to learn from books, but also that learning in > *community* is so much more fun! The interpersonal aspect is so important! And there you're getting to (imho, of course!) the crux of the problems in today's society. Back in the days of 6-12 kids in a family, you *learned* how to deal with a variety of personalities. More and more of today's "social" meetings (including here) are done in individual settings and, if we don't agree with something, we just leave. What will happen in years to come when people have isolated themselves to such an extent that we just *can't* deal with others' idiosyncracies, opinions, mannerisms? It's happening faster and faster these days. Not so good. Joan >>Not only to hard to learn from books, but also that learning in >>*community* is so much more fun! The interpersonal aspect is so important! [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Joan To some extent, we already have people who believe that anyone who's not exactly like them is wrong. I'm sure most people would agree that the best way is to say "this is what I'm upset about" and then drop it. My ex thought there was something seriously warped about me that I could say "I'm angry because you ___" and 5 minutes later acted like everything was fine; according to him, Normal People would hold a grudge for months, therefore, there was something wrong with ME that I didn't sulk for a week when he offended me. He absolutely could not deal with it that I didn't give him the silent treatment, act resentful, do things to him out of spite, etc. SignatureKaren C - California Editor/Proofreader www.IntlProofingConsortium.com Finished 9/17/10 -- birth sampler (no chart available -- I winged most of it) WIP: Stitchers Days of Christmas http://www.crossstitchjoy.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3865 Nativity from "Countdown to Christmas" book, Oriental Kimono (Janlynn), MLI The Teacher (gift to the library), Bethany Angel (Marbek) Retrieved from UFO pile: Marbek's Snow Angel, MLI Farmers Market www.CFSfacts.org -- where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf Newest research blog: http://cfs-facts.blogspot.com/ > I absolutely agree with you, I just wish it weren't the case because I > would really like to take some classes (knitting, tatting, bobbin lace > making, needlepoint etc) because there are some things that are just > too hard to learn from books. Unfortunately, too many businesses are run by people who are more interested in setting hours that get them home in time for dinner than in setting hours that best serve the needs of their customers. And then they wonder why those of us who are willing to work evenings and weekends get the clients.
