We Introduce Coneart to You, We Lose Coneart to Them

We were excited when we were approached by the owner of Coneart to carry their kilns. We'll work with you the owner said. Wow, we'll work with you too we said. Didn't last long though (not of our doing).
Our (last, apparently) order of kilns arrives today from Coneart. Seems we won’t be able to buy these kilns from them any longer and if we choose to continue to carry them, they must now be sourced from our sole Canadian stained glass supplier. The same kiln will now be available at an average 20-40% higher cost as we are not allowed to buy from a supplier who was only glad to sell to us just last week.
