We know it is mid-August and like our newsletters out the first of each month. Believe us, the wait is worth the beautiful pictures below.
We hung up our freshly painted sign this past Saturday, signifying the end of the construction project. Hooray! Oh sure, there still will be contractors trooping in and out from time to time, but much of the chaos is behind us.

We are officially back in our little storefront with a new part-time employee. Paul Bombardier joined the Vävstuga team earlier this month. With the addition of Paul we now offer store hours from 1-5pm Wednesday through Saturday. As the business grows we look forward to adding more hours and days.

Hello Vavstuga Friends,
So glad to see the beautiful renovations to the shop are complete, and adding Father Paul to the staff is like icing on the cake! My mom and I are looking forward to visiting Vavstuga later this year for more weaving inspiration in the company of kindred spirits.
Fondly,
Dawn Johnson and Donna Lopez
