Look what I found!
There is a local brick and mortar cross stitch shop in Maine! This is after years of Googling and scouring the yellow pages with next to nothing coming up!
I was looking on the Olde Willow Threads site for retailers, which led me to a site which led me to a site (-you know how that goes) which brought me to Stitcher's Corner. :)
Located in Wiscasset (okay still an hour away or so for me) it's locally owned by a stitcher. Very small town feel from what I can tell, which is a plus! To have a business owner who stitches and knows what you are talking about! *goldmine*
I talked for some time with her on the phone. No she doesn't have Olde Willow, and since retail sales are slow, bad economy that it is, she probably won't offer it any time soon. Can't blame her there, she says that when she stocks a product like thread, she will order the whole line.
Look at the stuff she has! Oh my, I think there will be an afternoon trip sometime soon. She even carries some fabric cut right there!!!! But until then I can call the toll-free number and order away!
Maybe KnittyKitty will come with me....... Quality girl time!
Oh and I am looking for #015 Indian Summer in Olde Willow. I shudder to think I may have to place an order online where the shipping costs more than the thread! Just for one piece of thread!
If anyone knows of a place near them or with good shipping prices on Indian Summer, could you drop me a comment here?

Hey Angela, Go to this site for your thread...www.fibersandthread.com They offer free shipping, no matter the cost!!! I have ordered from them. Paid by PayPal, shipped and received down south in about a week. No problem. I hope this helps. I did nlook to see if they carried Olde Willow, they do. Good luck!
