"Inspirations" - subscriptions costs, delivery, et al
I emailed Jan-Marie, owner of The Wooly Thread.
Here's the scoop on "Inspirations" The yearly subscription which Jan sells does include the postage, but the individual rate of $12.50 requires an additional $2 book rate postage for a total of $14.50 four times a year or $58. The same rates apply to country Bumpkin's other magazine "Australian Smocking and Embroidery" Newsstand is never the best deal. It's hit and miss, the prices are high and the mags usually come in late. A direct subscription from the publishers delivers the magazine about 6 weeks after publication and, because of the very poor exchange rate right now, costs about $68 per year. The magazine are sent direct to Wooly Thread by Fed Ex immediately upon release in Australia, and her subscribers their their's first in the USA. Plus it's slightly cheaper than a direct subscription. http://www.woolythread.com Jan, by the way, is an exclusive distributor of many of Australian items, including the blanketing and flannel.

Hmm...odd. I went through the checkout procedure up to the point of actually paying, and it was quoting a price of $68 including shipping. Maybe I did something wrong... Best wishes, Ericka |
According to Jan, it's $55/year. So if something's happening, email her
from the site. I wrote her answer to me verbatim. Inquiring minds want to know. I've order single copies from her and they were as she said, $14.50. I've also ordered kits from her, as well as wool felt and blanketing. Maybe she didn't understand my question????

Those prices are excellent value, though may change as the Australian dollar
gets stronger. I buy Inspirations and mail them to my sister in VA, the magazine is AU$10.95, mailing is AU$9.90, total AU$20.85, if you factor in the exchange rate, and quadruple it the annual cost is approx US$62.50. Hope this comparison helps some one! joanne "Dianne Lewandowski" wrote in message ... I emailed Jan-Marie, owner of The Wooly Thread.
