Cyber Monday

I hope everyone had a lovely (long) weekend and happy holiday (if you're in the US)! We certainly did, with lots of food, family, friends, and even some crafting! And what a great way to cap off a happy, relaxing weekend than with a little extension of that big fat Black Friday sale? (Ok, I know I didn't think of this on my own—it's called cyber Monday—still, it's a good idea!)

Wee Wonderfuls

Use the code "BlackFriday" (but without the quotes) to get 25% off anything in the shop all day. (Woohoo!)

Happy shopping everyone!

Oooh! Magpie is One this Month!

Guess what! My little shop is one year old this month - yay! What started as a groggy-I-still-need-coffee conversation with my dad about wishing someone would collect (in a selective fashion) all the lovely patterns in one place — not just knitting patterns or just sewing patterns, but rather patterns for (almost) all the fiber arts — has blossomed into an online boutique of growing popularity (hooray!). How cool is that?

Daydream Forest Set by SeptemberHouse

I mean, beyond giving my little pattern-collecting obsession free reign, I've met some of the very sweetest, most talented, amazingly creative people in all the world!

Linen Stitch Scarf by Churchmouse Classics

So, if you ask me, this shop has made me doubly blessed! And when you come to that kind of realization—and it's your one year anniversary—it couldn't be a better opportunity to celebrate. Don't you think?

Dapper Dillinger Trousers by Patterns by Figgy's

So, why not start the celebration with a sale? Beginning today and going through the weekend everything will be 15% off. AND the first 12 orders (twelve months in business, get it?) that include shipping will get a free (randomly selected) Sublime Stitching pattern. To get the discount use the code ONE15 when you checkout. To get the free embroidery pattern hop over here and start shopping!
