Summer Has Arrived
Greetings,
Summer has arrived, and there is a lot happening around here. New designs are making their way into shops, trunk shows are on the calendar, orders are shipping, and I am looking forward to spending some time in Maine enjoying strawberry season, lobster rolls, and a little inspiration along the way.
Before I head offline for a few weeks in August, I wanted to share a few updates, upcoming dates, and some in-stock inventory you may want to order before they disappear.
A quick scheduling note: I will be away for the first three weeks of August and will have very limited access to email during that time. If you are planning an order, have a question, or would like to discuss an upcoming project, I encourage you to reach out before August arrives.
I will respond to messages as I am able and look forward to reconnecting with everyone when I return later in the month. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Thank you,
Ann
Needleminders Galore
There is plenty to be excited about right now in the world of Ann Kaye needleminders! The latest collection of new designs has arrived, and everything is currently in stock and ready to ship.
A special note for any collectors that might be out there: only a handful of the limited-edition Fourth of July Topiary Needleminders remain available. Once this design sells out, it will be retired permanently and will not be restocked. If it has been on your wish list, now is the time to grab one before they disappear for good.
Get Them Before They're Gone!
A quick inventory update for shops: after Market, I was pleasantly surprised to find that several popular designs are still available in limited quantities.
Several of these designs made their debut at Market and have been especially popular, so I expect quantities to move quickly over the coming weeks.
Ann's Corner: The Maine Event
Strawberry season is doing its encore tour here in Maine, and it is arriving even sweeter than in Virginia, where it will stretch until around the Fourth of July.
Alongside the berries comes the other unmistakable Maine staple: lobster. A lobster roll remains the simplest kind of perfection, cool, buttery, and built for seaside air. For anyone who cannot make it up to Portland, Maine this summer, there is an easy workaround worth keeping in mind. Goldbelly brings Portland’s most iconic lobster rolls straight to your door, turning a distant shoreline into something that can land on your table with no travel required. I highly recommend Bite into Maine through Goldbelly.
