From the time the registration check cleared my husbands account until the second my toe touched the Port Authority Ferry headed for Vineyard Haven, I am flat out. In the store, huge boxes of fiber are coming in the back door and flying out the front door. 'Tis our season! September through March we are in Ferrari fifth gear. No, not just me, the entire staff; Margie, Denise, Kendra, Michele, Laurie, Andrea, Rhonda, Roberta, Helene and Trysh are all scrambling to keep up. There are multiple classes going on at the same time. All completely full. The store is mobbed with fiber lovers from all over. Just keeping the store stocked becomes a midnight job. There is a frantic calmness to the activity. Everyone is respectful of each other, all honoring each others hard work and the endless hours of dedication. In the midst of a month of full throttel service, Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably arrive. Kaffe's event has been sold out for a week and Brandon's color workshop is a full house. We all stop, take a very deep breath, and everything organically folds into slow motion. Even if it is for just a few days.
