Needle In a Haystack in Alameda, CA

Needle In A Haystack has moved into their New Location at 2433 Mariner Square Loop, Suite 102, which is about 5 minutes from their previous location.

"We closed at 3pm on Saturday August 15th. Packed up through Monday evening. The movers came at 9am on Tuesday and we opened again on Friday morning at 11am. We downsized from 3,000 square feet to 1,200 square feet. Both to downsize and to get air conditioning."

"The space we’re in now is a small office complex with a courtyard that has big redwood trees, grass, bushes and picnic tables. So what we gave up in inside space we made up for in lovely outside space. We can even stitch outside at the picnic tables."

Here are some before pictures of the old store with grids leaning against the wall shrink wrapped.

“We even shrink wrapped the DMC and Anchor cabinets”, said Cathe. “It’ll be a couple of weeks before we’re completely unpacked but we’re making “very good progress.

Needlework Retailer would like to thank owner Cathe Ray of Needle In A Haystack for contributing these Before & After pictures of her move! To read more about Cathe’s retail store please visit her website.
