I love this time of year because of all the new canvases that arrive at Needle Nicely. And, of course,
I'd like to stitch all of them. The following canvases are from Maggie Co.
The next ornaments are by Associated Talents. I love their variation in colors for the Easter canvas.
I didn't measure the Grinch canvas from Raymond Crawford, but I think it is about 15-18" tall. It screams for pattern-stitches.
The Painted Pony is the source of the following two angel canvases.

Some of my favorite new arrivals
Yes, this is the time of year when new canvases come flooding in. Some are duplicates of ones we have had previously; some are new beauties.
This canvas distributed by CBK, I purchased as a teaser for Macy. For the past two weeks, she has been in Texas, visiting Bruce where he is attending boarding school. Macy and her husband do retrieving and Macy does agility with their dogs.
These chickadees are by Liz. While I'm not a bird-lover, I have to admire the composition of this canvas.
This is a Susan Treglown canvas, designed by either Linda Pietz or Polly Carbonari. In Blowing Rock, NC, where we started, we had an annual horse show. This would have fit right in.
These stark houses are distributed by Maggie Co. I apologize for not remembering the artist.
Such opportunities for pattern stitches!
This little witch is a Raymond Crawford design. I think I've had a photo of this canvas on my blog before. I think I'm going to have to stitch a shop model!

A solution to displaying magnets at Needle Nicely
In the past few years, Needle Nicely has used lavender metal book-end like stands to hold the magnets that are for sale. It got so the 3 stands weren't large enough to hold the magnets we had available.
After some brain-storming, I decided to search the internet for adhesive magnetic sheets. I found a product that was just the width I wanted and came in a roll of a length the buyer specified. After I got it, I trimmed the width, and applied the product to the end of the sales counter. While it isn't readily visible, I do have some magnets on a purple stand on the sales counter to spur interest.
