As many of you have heard, one of our beloved designers, Toni Randall owner and designer of Whimsy & Grace, lost everything in the Almeda forest fire spreading through Oregon. No warning but an immediate bang on her door from a neighbor. She lost everything – all her memories and belongings, her many years of needlepoint models and all Whimsy & Grace inventory. She left her home with only her dog, car keys, computer and clothes on her back. She made it through with the help of her family and neighbors. Toni is now starting her life from scratch, something I think few of us can truly understand.To offer Toni help several shop keepers are hosting aVirtual Needlepoint Show of Whimsy & Grace DesignsWednesday September 23rd through October 7thSince this is a virtual trunk show there is no current inventory of painted canvases. It is understood that there will be a wait for canvases, while some designs may have already been on order other designs may be considered new orders to the painters. We will do our best to ensure you get your canvases in a timely manner and it will be first come, first served. We hope you will join us on this mission, whether it be something that has been on your wishlist for a long time; a tote bad, scissor case, eyeglass case or ornament. Her designs are elegant, timeless, stitch painted and with items for every budget.
