From Daylight Company This is a great line of very reasonably priced magnifying lamps! Developed and marketed in England for the past 10 years, these are finally available in the USA! They are nice looking, feature heavy-weighted bases, and strong table clamps. The light is wonderful -- like daylight!!! Each lamp features a "gooseneck" type arm, that is easy to steer in the direction that's best for you. Ultra Slim Lamp Just one of the WONDERFUL Daylight magnifying lamp options... once you try this... you'll never want to stitch under any other lamp again!!! Manufactured by Daylight Co, it features a light that is 'broad-spectrum' and delivers a true color that doesn't tease your eyes and confuse color. The best part, however, is the glass, 7-inch, 3-diopter (1.75x magnification) lens. Absolutely incredible to work with... the lens is bigger than the standard 5-inch. Because of the 7-inch size, the lens is curved less, so your view has less distortion. The lamp offers a 'quick-swap' design to change between the optional 5 diopter (2.25x), 8 diopter (3.3x) and 12 diopter (4x) lenses, too. Available in white, the fully adjustable swing arm top features that wonderful light and lens, along with a fabric drawstring bag to cover and protect the lens, and a table clamp attachment. The 4-wheeled base weighs a whopping 25 pounds... but rolls easily wherever you want it to. Absolutely wonderful... EVERYBODY has been so happy with this lamp... I'm pleased to recommend it to you! See the entire line of lamps and magnifiers from Daylight Company!
Craftlite Mini-Clip Magnifier Light Hey, this is the COOLEST little thing! It's a 3-1/2 diameter, 5-diopter, rimless magnifying lens that is attached to a 7-inch heavy-duty flexible gooseneck arm, and strong clamp. Clip it to your frame, hoop, Q-Snap, whatever -- it weighs just a few ounces! Extra-Special, though, is the fact that it has two LED lights built in that shine onto your working area!!!!! Battery powered by 3 little watch batteries -- you get them in the package! Really petite and very handy... Best of all... really affordable at only $20.00. A great new line for The Silver Needle... these are totally task-oriented lamps and magnifiers for needleworkers and hobby-lovers! Sleek lines, daylight balanced lighting, safety features, here are some of our shop favorites! CHECK OUT THE PRICES and the other models as well... they're excellent and very affordable!
Leatherette Stitching/Jewelry/Tool Cases Oh, these are a lovely new arrival in the shop! AWESOME colors of soft, rich faux leather, these little cases are so cool for so many different things! Measuring approx 5-3/4 x 3-1/4 x 2, they feature a snap tab closure. Open your very smart, very tailored little case to find a colorful suede interior, complete with a removable divider-shelf piece. Both the interior top and bottom (1/2 an inch deep) are lightly magnetized, so any scissors, clippers, needles, etc that you store inside do NOT fall all over the place inside! Perfect for special jewelry, nail accessories, and of course -- needlework stuff!!!! Available in 8 different colors, we are still waiting on two to arrive, so they are listed as RESERVATION in my dropdowns. The number right before the color name refers to my closest match to DMC floss colors... the best way I know how to describe the pretty colors to you. By Namaste. (Oh... my sample smells like new carpet... and it makes me think of all my favorite new smells!!!)
Thread Separators from Puffin & Company This is a lovely collection of hand-made metal art pieces that have been designed to separate your threads, hold your eyeglasses, or hang in a window to look pretty!!! (Actually, I can think of lots of different uses for these!) Hand-crafted from copper, brass and nickel, each Puffin Heart features a miniature work of metal art. SOOO pretty, the metals are shiny and look fresh against the distressed and antiqued metal background heart. Some pieces have etched patterns, some have swirls from the turning machinery, small embellishments welded everywhere... a few glass beads here and there... each one is so charming! Clamp the copper spinning-clip to an end of your thread... let it drop... and begin to separate your strands of floss that you are holding on the other end. Your Puffin will act as a weight, spinning and spinning, letting your threads separate without knotting. If you don't want to use it for that... clip it to your outfit and use the bottom loop to hold your eyeglasses! And... for effortless enjoyment just hang one somewhere -- they are exquisite-- and just fun to look at! Each measures approx 3-1/2 inches wide, 3 inches high, with an additional 1-1/4 inches for the copper clamp spinning hanger. My personal favorite is that cheery heart!
Little Lambie Pie and Kitty Needle Minders from Puffin & Company These are SO cute... handmade of copper, nickel and brass, these magnets would be happy on your refrigerator OR your needlework -- keeping track of needles and threaders. Smaller companions to the Puffin's Thread Separators, each has a pair of those super-duper strong micro-mini magnets attached to their backside, so they perch anywhere a magnet can! They're approx 1 x 1-2 inches in size... very nicely done.

Miniature Wooden Hornbooks! Here are two small wooden cut-outs that mimic the shape of antique hornbooks, which were used in the olden days as an alternative to a textbook in school. Papers and lessons were attached to these little 'paddles', the handles tying to students belts and such, for easy transport to and from school. Stitch something small and mount onto these. You can have the handle at the top -- makes a cute area for an ornament hanger loop. You can have the handle at the bottom... and make a tiny sampler to display on it! They'd make fun tree ornaments, they're neat tucked inside a pretty sewing case. They'd be pretty framed in a needlework-themed shadow box... basically, there are tons of things you could do with these. No specific designs call for these... just find something cute in your stash! Small one's paddle area measures a mere 2-1/2 x 2-3/4, handle is another 1 inch. Larger hornbook measures 4-3/4 x 3-1/4, with a handle of 1-1/2 inches. Too darn cute!
The Mighty Bright Floor Lamp Well... this is quite the little gem!!! Even before I tell you how great it is... you need to know its incredibly affordable price -- only $105.00!!!! A new floor-standing magnifying lamp, brought to us by the Mighty Bright people... this lamp features 12 teeny-weeny LED lights that surround a 5-inch glass (note glass -- vs plastic) 2X magnifying lens. The lens features a small 5X bi-focal area, for viewing extra-small stuff!!! It is powerful, very lightweight (I bet it isn't even 8 pounds), and so simple! Designed to be plugged into the wall, 6-foot AC power cord included, *OR run on 3 size D batteries* it has a flexible gooseneck so you can direct the light anywhere you want it. It stands a mere 53 inches high, (27 inches is the stick, gooseneck is 18 inches, weighted base), so when you bend the neck, it really stands approx 36 inches high. It weighs almost nothing, so it BEGS to travel with you! It comes in a box that is only 16 x 16 x 5 inches -- so it ships to you as a regular-weight item!! (No oversize-box shipping charges!) If you're enjoying our teeny personal Mighty Bright Lights -- the $5.99 ones, or the $30 clip-on lights, you'll understand the intensity of the LED lights this piece offers! They are astonishing! The LED bulbs never need replacing, either! Next to my incandescent desk lamp, the light from this looks 'purple-ish' to me. It is VERY bright directly in the area that my needlework fabric is... and since the lights are in the lens casing... there is no light glare that will show up on the TV screen across a dark room! Lots of info here... remember the key info; Small and simple; lightweight, battery or wall powered, LED bulbs, 5-inch glass lens. It is smaller than the Daylight floor lamps... so don't expect a huge fixture. It is fabulous, and you'll LOVE it! Definitely a Definite!!!!! (you might want two... because when your family sees it, it's going to 'disappear!')
Micro-Mini-Mighty Brights! Well... these are the coolest LITTLE lights!!! Brought to us by the Mighty Bright people, these are tiny LED lights that measure only 1/2 an inch thick, an inch wide, and a whopping 1-3/4 inches long! They weigh an ounce, they clip onto a book, papers, whatever, and have a tiny light that actually swivels to be directed down (like into a book, or to see the sidewalk) or out! Available in 5 different colors -- silver, purple, blue, apple green or rosy pink -- press that big button, and you'll get the brightest little light -- it's absolutely unbelievable! One belongs in your stitching bag, another in your purse, another beside your bed to read with, or just use as a tiny night light, another to clip to the phone book... are you getting the picture??? They are cute and very powerful little things! The best part, is that they are only $5.99 each! AND... since they are so fun and functional... we're doing a Baker's Dozen Deal on them!!! (That means that when you buy 12 of these... you'll get a 13th FREE!!! It saves the stress of color selection, and you'll have enough to share with everyone else!) WAY TOO CUTE, NEAT, AND COOL!
Scissor Sheep What a delightful keeper of your scissors and needles! This sheep features a 24-inch tether ribbon with Velcro on the end to attach to scissor handles. Tie your favorite pair of scissors there... and your little sheep will herd them right there on the stitching table! Standing approx 5-1/2 inches tall, she is weighted (12 to 14 ounces) with pellets, and is holding a hand-crocheted basket. Inside her basket, she has a crocheted scarf that spills out to hold a few needles, too! Really cute, the idea is to have her on your table, anchoring your scissors, so they cannot fall or get lost! Made of lambswool and wool felt... I think you might want to keep this out of the reach of your favorite 4-legged friends... I think she's just the right size, and would 'chew beautifully' -- too delicious a temptation!!!
Sterling Silver Stitches, and Needlework Tools Designed by: Charland Designs These sterling silver charms are the coolest! They are tiny silver stitches that are perfect on a necklace, charm bracelet, a sampler, a special stitching basket or needle case... just anywhere! So fun to collect, because they're affordable, and make great gifts for your stitching friends. We have a framed display in the shop, and have photographed them on our display to show you. Click the large image at right to see a full page of them. The images there are very close to the actual size! Kind of hard to decide on only one or two... so get a bunch! Maybe treat yourself to one a month???
Q-SNAPS Cool little gadgets, Q-Snaps are INDISPENSIBLE! They are a very lightweight frame, designed to hold your needlework fabric tight, and straight on the grain...for neater and easier stitching. There are several sizes available... and each set in interchangeable with the others... but the newest is this teeny little one, which is pictured. Sometimes you just need a LITTLE something! Hard to decide on the best combination of sizes!!! Available are:
Grime Guards for your Q-Snap Frame! Kind of a handy little wrap, this is a simple, Plain-Jane blanket to wrap around your Q-Snap frame, to keep the fabric clean and tidy! Instead of handling your needlework fabric so much,and running the risk of soiling it, this little elastic fabric band just tucks around all... ZIP-ZAP! Offered in several different sizes to fit our most popular Q-Snap frame sizes, colors of cotton fabric vary. The 8 x 11 is not a packaged Q-Snap Frame size... you make that one by mixing your sides from the 8 and 11 inch frames.
Make sure you see what we have on page 2, 3 and 4! Sterling Silver miniature stitch charms, threaders, tweezers, beaded scissor fobs... Q-snap frames... just all sorts of things! In the interest of having the pages load faster for you, we've split our treasures onto two pages!
