This image is a piece of fabric I purchased from Carol Law Conklin of Amity Farm Batik of Fort Ann, New York, through her Etsy shop. To me, it looks like Valadan, and I've framed it to keep near for inspiration.
I tend to forget abut Etsy--even though I have a shop there myself. (Endlessthread, not real active with it, though.) Shame on me! September 22nd, I ordered this batik, and it shipped out on September 29th. Also on September 22nd, I ordered some things from Amazon. The next evening, I ordered warp for my carpet loom from Leesburg Looms in Van Wert, Ohio, and some new heddles. I got a head's up the next day via phone message that the heddles were unavailable, but they were enclosing a refund with my order. Back to Etsy, and ordered similar heddles (the metal pieces the warp threads run through on my loom) from Ability Weavers in Michigan.
The carpet warp arrived, and the heddles arrived. Just like the fabric, all are perfect and arrived promptly. Fabulous Customer Service! The Amazon order--which by the way is a birthday present for a family member, a package of Stress Sheep and 3 boxes of Yorkshire Tea--has still not even shipped. It's October 4th, and I see the Zon trucks zipping all over, but the small businesses and the US Post Office beat you all hollow! I'm in Western PA, so those small businesses are on the same end of the US, but there was never any indication that the Amazon order had to ship from Outer Mongolia, either!
