🍁It's finally starting to feel like fall!! I know many of you have waited to start bringing in blankets, and YES, we are still accepting them. For the fastest turnaround time bring them directly to the shop. Just remember blankets are done in the order they arrive.

📣The local pick up route is still happening as needed. With fuel prices so high, I don't want to make any trips unless I have to deliver blankets and/or know there is something to pick up. Right now it's about every other week that I'm going to our locations.

👉🏻This week I'll be going to Masts and Traveled Lane on Thursday 10/8. Please have your blankets dropped off by 10 am that morning at both locations.

We'll be going to our Centreville locations tomorrow to drop off and pick up. I can add Masts to the route if you want to drop off there, but you MUST let me know; otherwise, I won't be going.

Easton locations: I'm planning to do returns and will pick up anything next week.

We're on the road Thursday 9/10 for our local route. A lot to deliver and we will pick up at all stops. Please let me know if you plan to drop off blankets, if you haven't already. First stop is Masts, not before 10:30.

If you are new to us, please visit our website for instructions and the form for preparing your blankets for us. Thank you!

Planning to do the local pickup/delivery route next week, probably Thursday, 9/10 -

We are back on the road this week!! Locals, I'll be doing the regular route on Thursday 8/20. Masts, Traveled Lane, and MacGlashans, and the 2 Easton stops if needed.

On Tuesday 8/18 I'm going across the bridge to deliver to a couple of our Northern MD barns. On my way back, if time allows, I'll be stopping in Easton to Little Park and G**s. If you're planning to drop off your blankets at either of those locations, please do so by early afternoon, no later than 1. If I do make it to Easton on Tuesday, I won't be going there on Thursday!

Busy day to catch up on some washing...the supervisors think it's a great day to sun themselves.

Great news!! Our machine is back running again. We've been shut down for 10 days :( I am working through washing what was here and will be making my last 3 Northern MD barns the priority to get done first and then move on to our locals. We can resume accepting blankets, but anything that comes in, please understand it will probably be September before I get to them. I will post the local pickup route once I know when I can go, it probably won't be next week. Thank you all for your patience

Shop Update: We are going to be shut down for maybe a week or longer. The washing machine has suffered an electrical failure that requires replacing parts(I don't know what they are all called). The service team was out today evaluating it and has to put in a order for the parts and we wait for shipping and for everything to be repaired and working again. Guesstimate on time is a week, hopefully not longer.

So while this is happening, I will not be accepting blankets. We are already backed up enough; I dont want to add to the backlog until the machine is back working again.

For those that have blankets here waiting to be washed, please be patient; they are in line, and once we get rolling again, I'll continue to wash and service everything in the order they arrived. It just might be a little longer than normal before they are done.

Thanks again for your continued support and patience!!

I'll be going to Masts on Monday July 20th. I'll be picking up and dropping off any finished blankets. All blankets that were picked up at Masts at the end of June are getting invoiced and packed today; please keep an eye out for the email.

Easton and Centreville locations: I'll be going there either at the end of next week or at the beginning of the following week. Please let me know if you are planning to drop off at any of those locations!

We hope everyone is surviving this heat! ☀️

Just a heads-up: We’ll be closed this Friday through the weekend for a little breather and for the 250th anniversary 🎆

For anyone planning to drop off blankets at Masts, please note that they will be closed July 4th through July 12th. Hold onto your blankets until the following week — I’ll be doing a pickup then.

Stay cool and have a great holiday!
