Link to Bearpaws and Hollyhocks website. Lindy, owner of the shop, has health concerns and she needs to spend some quality time looking after them. I wish her wellness and good health.
This is typical of the spontaneous fun we had and a memory I will always chuckle at. She had just gotten in a very funny children's book and just had to come share it with us after one of Kim's classes last September.
Bearpaws and Hollyhocks has been a wonderful gathering place where we all were nurtured by each other and watched each others talent grow. The friends I have made and the wonderful fun things we all did together are the memories I will always carry in my heart when I think of Bearpaws and Hollyhocks. For all of my special embroidery friends - we are going to go on. Never fear, have embroidery thread and needle, will travel. All of the Knot-y Embroidery Ladies who meet once a month will be coming to my home to finish out the Knot-y Embroidery Ladies Year. As the dust settles on BP&HH closing and the New Year comes to be, the thoughts I have for embroidery will crystallize. Stay tuned ...

Shirley, that was one of the special moments that came to my mind when I thought of what it will be like to be without "The Shop". Lindy reading FRANK & ERNEST to us, cracking up with friends, eating Kim's fabulous food.
Good times!
Love, love, love you.
Sorry to hear about the closing of BPaws and HH. I know how much you all loved the time spent in the shop creating together. I hope that Lindy is soon feeling better - She must be a wonderful lady- she has made her shop a real homey environment.
Wishing you and yours a great holiday season.
Hugs,
Anna
sad to hear another shop is closing.........
It's so sad when a shoppe closes...and it is as hard on the customers I know just as it is the shoppe owner. I wish her well in taking care of her health.
Merry Christmas!
Sorry to hear that the shop is closing but that you are all staying in touch. Hope this finds that you had a wonderful Christmas. blessings,Kathleen
