However, I placed an order the second I read Nancy's post about them last weekend. I got mine a few days ago. I hope Sheryl's husband gets more made, for those of you who might want one.
One thing you might need to consider, esp. if you want to give one as a gift -- there was a wood stain odor to my box that was strong at first. I've let it sit out since it came & the smell seems to be slowly fading. I want to give it at Christmas, so I'm hoping it will be OK by then. But in case you're sensitive to smells like that, or the person you want to give it to is, be aware of this. It may need to be "aired out." I may take mine outside & spray a sealer on it, too.
Well that little sparkling blog just went to the top of my dailies! how cute is that!!! I don't have my box yet! Boo hoo! I got the bigger one. Can't wait. I n\may have to order a bitty one later when he's made more...MANY more!!!

I ordered mine right away, but won't get it until the end of the month. I also signed up for the mini quilt of the month kit that they do, so I told her to send it at the same time.
Thanks for the heads up about the smell...hope it doesn't stick to my fabrics that are coming at the same time!
I didn't order anything else, and my box came by itself in a manila mailer. It was wrapped in bubble wrap inside. Was happy to see that it got here uncrushed!

I have 3 or 4 of these little ruler boxes that I've had for yrs! [got them from a garage sale & made from different rulers, though] The pin cushion is really cute!!

I joined her "monthly mini" program. When you sign up, you will receive a kit every month, but you aren't obligated for any specific period of time. I just thought I'd give it a try. If I don't like what I get, I can just cancel. I'll let you know how it goes!
... having that shop in my irregular road trips schedule - I can assure you that things she has and does are all top quality. It's a small shop, beautifully put together. Even the tags on product are unique, each with a little button glued on to personalize it. Those boxes are being readied at what I'm sure is a faster pace than they anticipated ... I'd suggest when setting them out to air use some paper toweling just sitting on and under the wood.
I cannot change 'things', but I can change how I feel about them. Me.
