I'd like to add my 2cents worth (not that 2 cents is worth much these days, it seems :-) ).
It's sad when a business changes hands, and I have loved dealing with Susan over the years as a personal customer and when I was the RMLG librarian. She gave great customer service, and took care of my special bobbin requests. I will miss that, but I know Trudy - have known her since she joined the RMLG way back in '04 or '05 - and I know she has some big shoes to fill, but she'll do a great job of taking care of our needs. Whilst I understand the sadness of the East coast people to be losing a vendor, maybe lace groups in the middle of the country and points west will gain a chance to have a vendor visit their group. I know in Denver they really haven't had one for some years. It was a treat when Holly came to Seattle last year to teach, and she brought along a lot of supplies, and we had a grand old time helping divest her of stock and helping out the economy :-) I remember back in Melbourne, in the late 80's and early 90's when we would have several bobbin makers vend at the bi-monthly ALG Victorian Branch meetings, with occasional visits from interstate vendors, and it was such a treat to have a selection of wonderful bobbins to purchase. Several of those bobbin makers have either moved on for health reasons or passed away, which has been sad, but a part of the rhythm of life. Hopefully there will be a good buyer for the Lacemaker, and we will have a spread of great vendors across the country.
