SEPTEMBER 7 NEWSLETTER:
Wasn’t life supposed to slow down a little bit after school started?? THAT certainly hasn’t happened in my life! How about yours?! We have been busier than one armed wallpaper hangers here at the shop, thanks to our wonderful customers! Speaking of them, we would like to congratulate Marcia Scott, who is the winner of our first monthly drawing for a $25 gift certificate, and to Lisa Shawler, who won a $50 gift certificate through our Facebook contest! Ladies, your certificates are in the mail! Our next monthly drawing will be October 2, at 10:00 am. Remember, you put your name in the jar with each purchase made!

Remember that episode of The Brady Bunch in which Jan confesses to her parents that she is tired of being in Marsha’s shadow. All she hears is, “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!” Well, with this next bi-weekly sale, all our other fabric lines are probably wailing, “Moda, Moda, Moda! That’s all we hear!” Poor guys! They are feeling left out! See the details below!
