A Little Patience
This past weekend I had a wonderful email correspondence with Mary, a knitter I met at last year's Stitches Midwest. Mary is a woman of patience. I thought you might enjoy reading how she finally got her Knitter's Satchel.
Jordana, I traveled 1 ½ hours to get to the Stitches Market today hoping to see you there as I did last year. I wanted to buy one of your satchels and have you autograph it inside for me. You weren’t there! I was so disappointed. If I order a bag through your website, will you be able to do that for me? Please let me know – Mary, Cudahy, WI

Hi Mary,
I'm so sorry I wasn't able to be there. I switch off between the Midwest and East show each year. This year I'll be doing the East show. I can certainly sign a bag for. When you checkout just write a note in the "gift card message" that reminds me. Hope it was a great show.
Sincerely,
Jordana

It was "just okay" without you there! I will submit my order tomorrow. Too tired from shopping today
Jordana - I have to tell you why I was coming to buy your satchel today. After seeing you last year and instantly falling for your satchel, I have had your postcard of the bag on my refrigerator where my husband was sure to see it. It has been there for a year! So today before I was leaving I asked him if I had permission to buy one and he finally agreed. He said "If
I say yes, can I take that picture off the refrigerator?" Talk about subliminal messages! It worked!! Mary

Hi Mary,
What patience!! So glad it worked out for you. Your letter really made me smile. Do you mind if I share it on my blog?
Your satchel shipped yesterday. It is scheduled to arrive on the 29th.
Sincerely,
Jordana

Of course you can put it on your blog. I just don't understand why he thought the satchel is a luxury and not a necessity! Men just don’t understand!! Can't wait for delivery!
Thanks - Mary
PS: Did you remember to autograph it?

I have to say, sorry for Mary that you couldn't be at Stitches Midwest, but YAY! You are going to be at Stitches East! I will actually be there. It will be my first 'knitting event' ever! I can't wait!! (Be sure to bring PLENTY of your Eggplant bags!) ;)
