Yes! You read that title correctly!! I have opened the doors to my very own brick and mortar shop. Words can not even describe the excitement and gratitude that I feel that I am lucky enough to get to make this long time dream come true! I will tell the full story of how this all happened later, but I wanted to show you all some pictures of the place and extend an invitation to all of you that live in the Midland, Michigan area to stop by and visit!
The front door (still waiting on outdoor signage to arrive as well as window decals).
We have a lovely trunk show from Amy Butler on display in the shop as well as loads of her patterns and fabrics in stock.
More views inside the shop.
We have quite the class schedule lined up for August. And we are offering 10% off your entire purchase (including class registration fees) now through Friday, August 5th.
AUGUST CLASS SCHEDULE: Download Sewing class flyer
For those of you that can't stop by the store, you can still shop the online shop. In fact, I've added lots of new fabric and fat quarter bundles as well as loads of patterns. Here is a sample of what's new on the website.
Kaffe Fassett Shot Cottons in new colors!
Kaffe Fassett Spots in great colors!
Liberty Art Marylebone Fabrics.
Gorgeous Fabrics from Michael Miller.
In celebration of the new shop opening, I have a coupon code for you all to use on the website. Enter code Celebrate at checkout to save 10% off of your entire order. On Etsy, enter EtsyCelebration to save 10% off your orders there.
Finally, I'd like to invite all of you to "like" us on Facebook, as I have finally set up a page for Sheree's Alchemy. I'll be running a fun giveaway next week over on that page, so be sure to watch out for that!
I'll be back next week to share more exciting news with you all! In the meantime, have a wonderful weeken!
Hugs and Blessings,
Sheree

Sheree, congratulations on your new shop and the best of luck. I met you at the Houston Quilt Show and I don't know why I thought you were from that area. Love your work.

I'm so happy for you! I'm also quite bummed that you left Houston right before we moved here. ;-) Any tips on where to shop here?
I just headed over to your FB page & clicked "Like". May your time in Michigan be marvelous! So glad to know things are going well for you there!

Wow Sheree! I stumbled upon one of your daughter's pictures on google....can't even remember what I was searching for now, but anyways Congratulations to you!!!
I'm so very happy for you. You mentioned some years ago that you wanted to open up your own shop and now you have. I hope this first year has proved to be an exciting one for you.
Congrats again!
