Saying goodbye and new beginnings

Time is ticking away quickly.  I am moving from New Brunswick to Alberta in less than two weeks.  Every time I do something now, I wonder if it is my "last time".

I think I had my last time at my local needle shop today (LNS). This shop has been there for me since I moved to Moncton 10 years ago.  The store is called Because You Count.  I love this store.  The owners, Jeannie and Shelly have an amazing business - I love it there. You visit and you can shop and browse for hours - or sit at the table and have a chat as I have over many lunch hours.  All the staff is wonderful. They know me by name.

They don't have a website but they do mail out orders! Always a phone call away:  506-856-8282. Today when I said my goodbyes I was given hugs - it was hard not to have a few tears by me. As a stitcher, having their support has been so wonderful!

I took a few pictures to share with you all of my beautiful LNS - Because you Count in Moncton, NB.


Jeannie and Wanda behind the counter. Love you guys!



I really only needed a few flosses... but I bought myself a few treats. I have a very special group of four friends - so I got us each a small Just Nan pattern and a little lady bug charm to go with...and I indulged in an  extra package of JJ Petit's and I bought a Little House Needle Works pattern just because!



In case I don't get a chance to blog again before I move... I will see you all soon! I plan on being settled around the 3rd week of October.

  2. Lovely shop and lovely sentiment. You'd have to drag me kicking and screaming away from my LNS.

    I hope your move goes smoothly and you're back on the cyber-stitchy front soon.

    *hugs and stitches*

  3. This shop looks great. Wish I had a LNS here, but I have to do all my stitchy shopping online.

    Best of luck with your move and your new home. Have a safe trip.
