Happy February! Lookie what I have for you!

follow me @scoutsswag on Twitter!

Cynthia contacted me last month and said that since so many people were missing out on our calendars that she would keep doing them. From now on there are actually 4 of us behind the images:

Carol: www.carolbrowne.com
Robyn: knitpurlknitpearl.blogspot.com
Scout: www.scoutj.com
Cynthia: www.biggirlfeet.ca

Just like before all you do is click on the image to be brought to the desktop size. From there you simply right click it and save as desktop! Depending on your screen size you might have to adjust to stretch it or center it.  I’m so happy they are back!

the Monroe & the Wallet

Shop Update with New Swag from Namaste…
the Monroe & the Wallet
Haiku Bags & Pick Up Sticks Clearance Sale too!

***I just finally got a twitter account so add me! - http://twitter.com/scoutsswag***
If you have yet to see the two newest items from Namaste they are GORGEOUS. Welcome the Monroe & the Wallet.

Organize in style with the Monroe bag, featuring a unique 3-compartment storage design fully equipped with extra pockets and strong magnetized closures. This bag features a rear document pocket that’s excellent for toting your magazine or other important documents unharmed. Optional strap buddy to keep straps together so slippage off the shoulder isn’t an issue.”

It might just be my most favorite bag yet….. I know these will go very quickly so if they sell out please don’t worry! I will be placing another order on Monday, February 1st, and you can pre-order ANYTHING from Namaste. Simply respond to this email, let me know what you want, I’ll put it right up in the shop, you purchase it and as soon as it gets here I ship it right out to you. It usually takes less than a week for me to get it from Namaste and then from me it’s 2-3 days. You will have your swag within 1-2 weeks. It’s a very fast process.

Also, Namaste brought back their Binders! These will be ordered on a custom order basis. If you would like one, simply email me and I will place an order immediately and get it to you as soon as they arrive. (There is one Eggplant binder in the shop!)

In order to make room for newer products I am discontinuing a few items in the shop. All Haiku Bags are now 25% off as well as all Pick Up Sticks Patterns & Kits. They make GREAT Holiday gifts!

There are a number of other items restocked in the shop.
Here are links to just a few of the items that have been restocked:

December Calendars!

Hello everyone! Welcome to December. Here are three, very holiday-ish, calendars for the month. Cynthia and I hope you enjoy them. After much discussion we have decided that this month will be our last month working together to bring these calendars to you. We’ve done them for free now for almost three years and we’re just thinking it’s time to be done. I know this will disappoint people but there are lots of people out there who make cool desktop calendars. If I can figure out how she made them I might play around with them a bit and see what I can do but don’t hold me to it. I’ve been so busy with my photography business I rarely take any other pictures throughout the month! I’m still dyeing up a bunch of yarn but seem to always forget to shoot it before it goes out the door. So….with that said, here are the last three calendars from us.  We’ve really enjoyed doing it but we both just felt like it was a good time to be done with this little project.

November 2009 Desktop Calendars!

Sorry for the delay but Cynthia actually does what I should do and takes the weekends off from work! I’ll apologize in advance to everyone for not having a yarn shot in this time. I liked these other ones a lot so that’s what you’ll get. What’s that saying kids learn in pre-school from that book? You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit? HAA!! Anyway, hope you can still find one you like. :D

Pre-Holiday Sale! 15% off EVERYTHING!!!

In case you haven’t heard…

Never Been Done Before…..
Pre-Holiday Sale
15% OFF EVERYTHING
in the Shop!

In the almost 4 years I’ve run this shop I’ve never discounted everything in the store. Take advantage of this because you rarely get deals on the Namaste Bags and accessories OR the Haiku Bags anywhere! The sale is through this weekend only. There may be a few items that remain on sale after the weekend but definitely not the Namaste bags and accessories. If you have yet to see the new colors check them out below. They are gorgeous bags. I’m just making room for some new items so you get to benefit from my lack of space!


I also have in stock the new color of The Knit Kit as reviewed by Amy Singer in the newest Knitty issue as well as the new GoKnit Stitch Markers that can be worn as a necklace too.  I have to say I like this black version much better than the previous one.  Grab them while I have them as they are going fast since she reviewed it!
I have also restocked the Protect the Swag.

A few other items that have been recently stocked:
As always I thank you for your continued support! I hope you have fun shopping and can make a dent in your Holiday shopping! I’m not sure if there will be another sale before Christmas/Hanukkah…..so get what you need now. :D

Namaste Eye Candy & Small Sale!

The new Namaste is here, in the shop and ready to ship! The Hermosa in red and the Zuma & Laguna in BLACK are all in stock as well as all other Namaste products. I have to say I just used the Hermosa for my camera gear and laptop on a trip to LA this week and it’s such a great bag. It carried everything I wanted and fit perfectly up in the carry on luggage compartment. If you are wanting a large bag to carry everything….this is most definitely the bag for you.


I also have in stock the new color of The Knit Kit as reviewed by Amy Singer in the newest Knitty issue! I have to say I like this black version much better than the previous one.  Grab them while I have them as they are going fast since she reviewed it!
I have also restocked the Protect the Swag. It sells out so quickly so I apologize if you’ve wanted it and it wasn’t up.
A few other items that have been recently stocked:
Martini Sock Blockers
Knitter’s Rules & Sock Rules
Tape Measures
Pattern Tamers
Stitch Savers

I am also having a small sale over the weekend on all patterns & kits, stationery & Clover notions! In addition to this sale I have 2 gently used Zumas for sale. I will sell them for $45.00 each plus shipping. There is a Peacock and an Eggplant. They have been in a smoke-free house and are free of pet hair!

As always I thank you for your continued support! If there is anything you need and it is out of stock please contact me and I will order it right away. Have a great weekend!

September 2009 Calendars

Wow….um summer went by so quickly!!! Hope you all had a great one. I sure did. The kids are back in school, soccer started yesterday and life is just busy busy busy! We made sure to get a yarn shot this month. I know some don’t like the Scout’s Swag label in the shot but it was the best one I had out of the bunch. I figure putting up a kitty one makes up for it? Here you go!
