Leaves falling

Two more colorways of my LEAVES ribbon arrived today: each features the same vibrant maple leaves. One is on a mysterious plum ground, and the other on an espresso brown. The brown version is just like the great brown kitchen towels I designed for Crate & Barrel this season (now I LOVE a brown towel, as it never shows stains!) And what do you know -- they are on sale right now! I also love a great deal!

I am a studio artist and textile designer. My work swirls around among art, design, and the joy of making things. I founded LFN Textiles Artists Ribbons in 2002, and have been designing these fairly wonderful ribbons for 8 years now. They are distributed for the wholesale market exclusively by Renaissance Ribbons, and are available at retail on my website, www.lfntextiles.com, and nationwide through fine fabric stores, gift shops. My tapestries are available through a number of galleries across the country as well. See the links section for contact information.

free shipping!

I am so proud of myself! I do all of my own website work and it is often a struggle to get through the process to achieve what I want to do. I loathe paying high shipping fees when I want to order just one little thing online -- so I decided some time ago to offer free shipping on all US orders of my ribbons, but couldn't figure out how to change the website calculations -- until tonight!
So now, if I did it all right, you won't be charged shipping on your orders within the USA (unless you want it overnight -- but gotta say, I can't figure out how to offer that option anyway!) Does this sound like an amateur?
