*******************************

Moving forward ... April, 2026
I am writing this to let you know that Thistledew Acres aka dulcimerbaglady.com
is still alive and moving forward in this dulcimer world that we love. 

There is no doubt that the ‘office’ side of the business including communications
and filling orders in a timely manner is not what I want it to be at this time.  
I sincerely apologize for any frustration I have caused. 

With the encouragement of some treasured music friends, plans are in the
works for extra quality help on the office part of my business.  
In moving forward, I will be able to spend my time in the wood shop and
at the sewing machines.  Making product is what I love!

Sincerely,
Steve   (4/2026)

 


  
Lee has retired.  When festivals start up again,
you just won't know where she might pop up!


 

              

Steve has learned from the 'masters', Lee & Doug, and is committed to continuing the same fine quality.

away in October, 2014. ~LEE

And they have! 

 

We invite you into our workshop and internet store filled with soft dulcimer bags, totes, music stands, instrument stands and other music related items.
