    I LOVE the selection! But, EXTREMELY SAD to see some of my favorites being discontinued. I guess nothing ever stays the same unfortunately. Will have to find new favorites!!

    I enjoy Ally's tutorials, the pieces are lovely. For every pattern I've attempted to make there have always been out-of-stock items. I've had to order from multiple sources to find all the items. Other than that, all is well.
