Come see us!

We made it through the holidays! HOORAY! We are so thankful for loyal family and customers who were patient with us as we tried to manage the amount of orders and questions we received. It was truly overwhelming and we are so grateful that so many others found so much joy in our creations. We learned many valuable lessons and we look forward to 2010 with much anticipation and excitement!

We are busily preparing for our first show of the year which will be the NW Women's Show held March 5 - March 7 at the Qwest Field Events Center. This is a great show that offers lots of valuable and informative information for women combined with some great SHOPPING!! Come see us at booth #1395. We will have some beautiful new creations along with some of our most popular previous projects.

Be sure to bookmark this blog as we will posting additional show dates and new products soon and remember that our Super Saturday kits are available all year long. Keep us in mind for your spring get-togethers.

Show Time Once Again

Once again, thanks to everyone for all their support. Today now leads into our week before a show.

We will not be able to take any new orders until after our two shows. We have the Meeker Middle School Bazaar mentioned in the post below on November 21st, then Thanksgiving, and the week after that will be in the Victorian Country Christmas at the Puyallup Fairgrounds.

We want to be able to prepare ourselves for these shows, so will need to stop taking orders until afterwards.

If we have already taken your order, we will still be getting it to you before the shows.

We will be ready for business again December 9th - December 18th. After that, we will be taking the holidays off to spend with our families.

Thanks again for all your support and we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

What's Next?....

If you have been following our blog you know how busy we have been between Super Saturday's and shows. The Super Saturday orders are slowing down a bit now and it has given us a chance to reflect on what we want to do next. We have all kinds of new ideas swirling around in our heads and are just trying to find some time to actually create and perfect them for you!

Our next show will on November 21 at Meeker Middle School in NE Tacoma. Here is a map to location just in case you are not sure where it is.



It is a one day small show that we only did once last year but it is a show that has been going on for years and always has a nice turnout. We are really excited to do this show because we will have a double booth. Not only will we be doing the custom personalized items that we did at our show at the Tacoma Dome, but we will also have an area to display and sell our completed items. As I mentioned before, we have all kinds of new ideas and will premier many of those ideas for you at that show. If you like what we make, then you will not want to miss this show!! For those of you interested in our very popular Countdown Blocks, we will have them there finished and available for sale. You might want to get there early though because we will only have a limited number of them and they are sure to sell out! The cost will be $17.50 per set.

Our hottest seller at the Tacoma Dome show were our custom frames. These were super popular and make a great Christmas gift for both family and friends. In addition to the frames shown below, we will also have frames that are longer that measure 12" x 21". They can be customized any way you would like. It might be a good idea for you to pre-order you items. This is a one-day show with short hours that promise to be very busy so pre-ordering will allow us to have your item(s) made for you ahead of time and all you will need to do is stop by and pick them up! Any of the following items are available for pre-order. To order, just send us an email to orders@windmilllettering.com and we would be happy to put something together for you.

Custom Frames - $30 each including all customization. Frames available in two sizes. 14" x 19" (shown below) or 12" x 21". Multiple designs available or we would be happy to custom design it especially for you. Local pickup available. Shipping and handling is $15 each.

Custom Family Name Boards - $25 each including all customization and two layers of vinyl. Boards measure 6" x 24". Multiple designs available or we would be happy to custom design one especially for you. Local pickup available. Shipping and handling is $12 each.

The pictures shown are with the family members names across the middle of them but we also offered them with the following sentimental sayings across the centers or, you can create one of your own.


Custom Name Tiles - $25 each in either granite or marble. Price includes all customizations. Tile measures 12 x 12. Local pickup available. No shipping on tiles but we are happy to do vinyl only on these for your for $12 and you can purchase your own tile.

Our next show after Meeker Middle School will be Victorian Country Christmas held a the Puyallup Fair Grounds Dec. 2 - Dec. 6. We decided to do this show because so many people came up to us at the Tacoma Dome show and said that they were hoping to see us there. You will find us located int he Showplex in Booth #619. We are very excited to be doing this show but not sure about what to think about the required Victorian era attire (Yikes!). We are happy to take your pre-order for this show as well.

Again, thank you all for your support and kind words. We love what we do and we hope to continue to bring you new, creative and a beautiful things for your home!

Back From the Tacoma Dome Show

Hello Everyone -

We are almost ready to be back......................

We just spent a wonderful, but exhausting 5 days at the Tacoma Dome Holiday Gift Show. We need to offer a huge THANK YOU to our family for all they did so we could participate in that show.

We introduced some new products that were a hit.

One of our new products was the frame shown hanging below. Those actually sold out. We had out cutter actually in our booth and was able to customize our frames, family name boards, and tiles for people while they shopped. Most of the time in about 45 minutes.

Also - thanks to all the suggestions from people - we are now looking into participating in the Victorian Country Christmas in Puyallup from December 2- December 5th.

We are also participating in the Christmas Bazaar on November 21st at Meeker Middle School.

At both of these locations we plan on having our cutter and offering people personalized gifts.

We will still be getting back into life this next week and should be open for business next week. We will be making some changes on both this site and our etsy site.

So keep your eyes open for more to come!!

Super Saturday - on hold - KIND OF....

We want to tell everyone thank you for all the wonderful compliments on our Super Saturday kits. We have had an overwhelming success with them, and that is thanks to all of you.

Because we want to be sure to provide those that have ordered with the quick service we pride ourselves on, we have to now slow it down a little bit while we are fulfilling these incoming orders.

Starting today - September 30th, we will be only be able to take orders for vinyl only for our Super Saturday kits. We will still be able to also do vinyl/paper only for the kits that this applies to.

This only applies to new orders, and not to orders if you have previously contacted us and ordered samples for your ward. If you have, we have you on our list, and are waiting for your final orders.

Between the Super Saturday kits, and the Tacoma Dome Holiday Gift show, we will be just too busy to keep up with the full kits with wood requests until after November 1st.

At that time, we will be reopen for new orders for full kits.

Thank you for your understanding in this. -
Pam, Judy, and Valerie - Windmill Lettering

Where In The World Will You Find Windmill Lettering This Fall?

We have had a overwhelming response to our Super Saturday kits. Thank you all so much for you support! We have loved helping all of you out and we can not wait to hear the feedback you get from the sisters in your ward. Please be sure to let us know how it goes and if you can, share some photos of your event.

We have had many questions about where you might find us this fall. We anticipate participating in several show and are still working out all the details but we are very excited to announce that we for sure will be participating in the Tacoma Dome Holiday Food and Gift Festival this year. We are feeling a little overwhelmed by the prospect of participating in such a large show but we are very excited to share our products with so many people at one time and look forward to seeing the response.

We have decided that rather than having our normal show setup, we would concentrate on custom only orders. We will only be offering our Family Name Boards, Custom Name Tiles and Custom Family Name Frames (NEW!). The best part is we will be making them on the spot and will be ready to take home from the show that day. We will post pictures and pricing of each product soon on this blog so stay-tuned for all the details.

You are more than welcome to pre-order before the show and we will have your custom product ready and available for pick-up when you arrive. Tell all your friends and be sure to come by and see us. If you mention this blog post, we will give you a 10% discount on your full pre-order (discounts will not be offered at the event). We look forward to seeing you then!
