MONDAY MENTION–Furniture Repair Directory CT Seatweaving Addition

June 14th, 2010 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog

H. H. Perkins Company, Inc. in North Haven, Connecticut has just joined the
National Furniture Repair Directory™ on WickerWoman.com

Not only do the folks at H.H. Perkins repair just about every kind of chair and wicker there is, but they have a pick up and delivery service available, teach chair caning and basketry classes and carry a full line of cane and basket supplies for your every need.

I can attest for their fine quality materials, since I’ve been ordering from them since the mid 1970s! They’ve replaced the European cut reed with their very own specialty cut reed, still the same great quality and maybe even better now. It’s great for baskets and herringbone or diamond splint chair seats and their long select strand cane is second to none.

Visit our newest advertiser on the Furniture Repair Directory, H.H. Perkins Company, Inc. to see what all owners Ray and Caryl have to offer. Are you in need of custom window treatments, if so, this is the place to go.

Ray was the first Vice President of The SeatWeavers’ Guild too in 2007, and hopefully will attend our Gathering this July so you can all meet him in person. We really appreciate all Perkins has done to help advance the craft of chair seat weaving and the guild as a whole. Thanks guys!

Cane & Basket Weaving Supplies

November 10th, 2009 · Comments Off · What's New

Chair caning suppliesI have been online with this website, WickerWoman.com, since 1999 and have NEVER been in the business of selling cane and basket supplies to the general public. And the only time I do sell supplies, is to the students in my classes.

That fact is stated repeatedly across my website and always has been, but yet I continue to get calls from prospective customers about purchasing the supplies they need, from me.

AS ALWAYS, I refer them to the CANE & BASKET SUPPLIES page of my website where there are over 30 advertisers listed who are in the express business of SELLING CANE & BASKET SUPPLIES TO THE PUBLIC!

I am not about to try and reinvent the wheel here, so to speak and at this late date, begin a cane and basket supply business when there are already many, many fine companies that are already set up to do exactly that.

So, when and if you are looking for cane supplies to reweave that chair caning project you have, or you want to weave a new basket for a gift or for yourself, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE contact the fine businesses on the Cane & Basket Supplies page at WickerWoman.com, where you can purchase all your raw materials, tools and instruction books, too!

The link is also listed on the navigation bars on the left side of almost every page of this website, and otherwise, it’s at the top of the page.
