This email is to catch you up on what's been happening so far this year and what the plan for the rest of the year is. It's going to be kind of long so grab your favorite beverage and relax.
I am not doing weekly specials at this time. I’m going to keep it simple, so from now until September 30th – 20% off any purchase of $30.00 or more. On line use coupon code 2030.
I started this year with a diagnoses of breast cancer, I was told it was caught early, ok I'll deal with it. Then I got an offer to sell the building, sounded good. So I decided since I knew I would be dealing with treatments and selling a building I would close the shop and go to online only. So we had a closing sale. The sale of the building was moving forward. Started chemo in Feb. then the building sale fell through, and all of my hair fell out.
So I still planed on selling online only. My wonderful employees came to me and said since I still had a building they would work a few days a week and keep the shop open. I can not stress enough how wonderful these ladies are! So we were open 2 days a week while I went though weekly treatments. I was handling treatment pretty well, so we added 2 more days and 2 more employees, Jenny & Julie. So we are now open 4 days a week!
We have consolidated some of the fabric and are making the classroom much larger, so there will be plenty of room for classes and events.
So that's pretty much where we stand right now. I am finished with chemo but still have a minor surgery coming up. I am back in the shop 2-3 days a week, we will only be open 4 days a week, Wed. 11-4, Thur. 10-5, Friday 10-5 & Sat. 10-4.
We started demo's, a few months ago, if you liked the technique and wanted to learn more, there is a class scheduled a few weeks later. That seams to be working well so we will continue the monthly demo's, classes, groups and events back up. Complete dates, details and descriptions are on our website, but here are the highlights.
