X-Stitch Xpress!

Today I began acquiring inventory for X-Stitch Xpress!

Lovely linens and luganas, jobelans and aidas and monacos (oh my!)... some needlepoint canvas, some Quaker Cloth... bookmarks and bands and borders...

Also on my list of acquisitions, a fat stack of patterns and charts! Mostly beginner to intermediate, they span a wide range of designers and genres and aside from not having any Mirabilias or HAEDs or Lizzie Kate's or Sue Hillis's yet, I couldn't be more tickled.

What do you think of a retailer selling back issues to stitching magazines? I have an opportunity to acquire a lot (A LOT) of old issues of several magazines, most out of print but one or two still in print. Does your LNS carry such things, and have you ever been interested in buying them?

As I wait for your answers I'll be busy pricing my new goodies and making up my first Xpress X-Stitcher kits!
