re Michael's and Martha Stewart

[Marcia Wilson]

I was in the michael's store in Naples fl today. I asked them when they were getting the Martha Stewart valentine line. They said they weren't. They said the line wasn't selling and thought the company would drop carrying it.

That is strange because there are a ton of people looking for the valentine border punches (me included!).

When I asked a lady at my local M's she said MS is very particular about her products and each store only gets a few of each of the seasonal punches and won't send more when the store is out. . .

I was in my local Michaels (Rochester MN) about 2 weeks ago and I asked about the MS Valentine line...the person knew nothing about it and we looked at the regular offerings. I explained that it would likely be "seasonal" and the person essentially said that if they did not have it by "now" they probably weren't getting it.

Last Friday my friend called the same Mikes to see if they had the Valentine MS things and the person answered that they did. My friend asked about punches and was told they were sold out.

I went in there the next day just for giggles and they had about 6 punches on the rack. I scored the last doily heart punch...but only the script punches were left. All of the borders had sold out. No one at the store knew if more would be coming or not. Supposedly their stuff is "automatic" re-order and they never know what is coming.

Honestly I just keep checking, because no one there seems to have a clue. You might get lucky.

Both of the ones I shop say the MS is a quick seller and they restock as fast as they can get it...

The new 'revamped' Michaels near us is a vision in white, MS white that is. She has several aisles devoted just to her line. IDK.

This Michael's will not carry them. They said people don't buy them at full price

AC Moore is going to stop carrying M. Stewart products.

I have always had luck locating the hard to find punches at Archivers. My local Archivers will not carry MS anymore (not a big seller), but I did find the great drippy goo punch at the Archivers in the Mall of America. I called and they shipped it to me that day. It's worth a shot. The number is 952-858-8292.
