From The Patch

New Years Day!

A pre-emptive Happy New Year from the team here at The Weed Patch!  We just wanted to give a quick shout out that we will be open on New Years Day our normal hours (10am - 6pm).  And also keep in mind that the absolutely most fantastic quilt shop ever (Keepsake Cottage Fabrics - next door to us) has their annual sale on New Years Day!  So you can escape the football and come on in for a fun day of shopping and deals!  We hope you'll come on in and say hello!

A confusing fiasco

This blog post is for a very targeted audience.  It is for an audience that shopped at Amazon.com over the holiday season, from a shop with the name of The Weed Patch Country Store.  Unfortunately, that shop is NOT us.  We do not sell North Face products.  And we don't (at least at this moment) sell on Amazon.com, either.  

We did, however, graciously field hundreds of phone calls and voice mails from people who ordered things and never received them.  If you are in this boat, you have our deepest apologies.  Take a look at our website at the products we offer - we have some fantastic items, but no clothing.

If you have stumbled across this, you're probably angry and frustrated - please visit amazon.com and complain, if you can't reach the appropriate seller via their contact form.  This is, unfortunately, the best we can do to help you resolve your issues.

Good luck, and please let us know if we can help you with anything we actually carry! :)

Merry Christmas, Everybody!!!

Travel Mugs by Giftcraft

We've had multiple requests for these mugs, and I thought people might want these for Christmas gifts, so I wanted to let you know that I just got the ceramic travel mugs by Giftcraft back in stock!  The shipment arrived on Friday, and isn't open yet, but will be by the end of weekend.  We should still be able to get them to you before Christmas, if you order within the next week!  

Here is a sampling of what we have:

  

Let the Stress Begin Travel Mug

 

Who Are These Kids Travel Mug

 

Breast Cancer Travel Mug

 

Behind Every Successful Woman Travel Mug

 

Haven't Lost My Mind Travel Mug

Life's Too Short Travel Mug

I'll Rise Travel Mug

So Far Behind Travel Mug

They'll go out on the floor next week, and will probably start selling quickly, as they usually do!
