Greetings from all of us here at Peggy’s Heirlooms! YES! YES! YES! The rumors are all true. WE ARE MOVING!!!!!! We have been invited to move into a brand new 3200 sq. ft. unit in the “Market Street” Plaza! It is located about 1/4th mile off of I-75 on SR-200 West and only about 4 ½ minutes from where we are currently located. The shop will be right off of the circle and beside Panera Bread!! See, you really can have your quilting and eat too! Since our classroom will be double in size, we are planning lots of new classes and clubs ….ie.. a monthly doll club, bear classes, and even canvas painting. We are trying very hard to be in by the end of November - but, we will see. A lot depends on how quickly the contractors can complete the build-out. Keep checking our web site for up-dated information. www.heirloomsoftomorrow.com
Our precious granddaughter Brenna, is now in the maintenance part of her treatment. The doctors say she will be in maintenance for 2 years. If her blood counts continue to stay up, she may get to go back to school. Please continue to pray for her, her family, and the doctors and nurses that are taking care of her. If you would like to follow her progress, she has a web page, through Caring Bridge, where you can read her daily entries, see a picture of our sweet girl, and even send her a note of encouragement. She loves reading her messages, even if she doesn’t know you! Type in this link and it will take you there:

Thank you in advance for all of your prayers.
See you soon!
