My neighbor and I had a great time at the Lake Loramie Fest last weekend. I wore a buckeye dulcimer festival t-shirt. Folks came up to me … ‘Do you play the dulcimer?’ I love talking about music. Maybe this area needs a learning group?

This has been a week of focusing on moving forward. Shari has made many contacts to update folks on orders and other issues. If you have a question that has not been answered, please note in the comments below.
-- Just received notice that needed material (red, blue, and green) is supposed to be at my post office. Yay!
-- Looking forward to additional help on Monday.
Finally, thank you so much for the support. No doubt, it has helped to spur me on.
More updates to come!!! ~Steve Binkley (Thistledew acres/Dulcimer Bag Lady)

MESSAGE from STEVE BINKLEY,
THISTLEDEW ACRES (dulcimerbaglady.com):

I am writing this to let you know that Thistledew Acres
aka dulcimerbaglady.com is alive and moving forward
in this dulcimer world that we love.

There is no doubt that the ‘office’ side of the business
including communications and filling orders in a timely
manner is not what I want it to be at this time. I sincerely
apologize for any frustration I have caused.

With the encouragement of some treasured music friends,
plans are in the works for extra quality help on the office
part of my business. In moving forward, I will be able to
spend my time in the wood shop and at the sewing machines.
Making product is what I love!
Sincerely,
Steve

Just talked with Steve this morning. He has caught up on all orders for mountain dulcimer and bowed dulcimer instrument stands. This morning he is back making music stands. EXCITING NEWS: Steve is now building 4 different heights of music stands. These different heights came as a result of hearing from you, the customer, and requests for a stand up, tablet friendly, and so on.
Steve is going to build one of each this week and then I'll post pictures here and update the website and order form. Thanks, Shari
