Notes from the Lodge June 11, 2007

Where did the week go? Busily getting ready for the trek west to Cumberland. The Schoolhouse show in Cumberland is next Fri, Sat. and Sun. The dates are June 22, 23 and 24. This is a wonderful show put on by a great group of ladies. We have brochures at the shop and complete info on the front page of the web—check it out and come out to the show.

Now for the dreaded news about our move---well as is the way of real estate and relocation, our site is not going to be ready in time for us to move the end of June. How sad!!! And how disconcerting!!!!! But as with all challenges, things will happen when they are supposed to. I can not tell you the exact date of the move at this moment---it seems that when the developer got ready to start the fit out in the building, a huge sewer problem was uncovered that had not been expected and all work ceased and began a huge refit of the entire sewer system from the complex out to the street. Until all of this problem is fixed, inspected, and determined OK, I will not have a definite date for the move. Please bear with us and check the blog and shop for more information on this.

I have said before that I really do have an amazing group of ladies who work at the shop!! On Saturday I presented them with a huge challenge and they met the task with an unbelievable energy. Now thanks to Judy, Marcy and Kelly we will have a wonderful array and number of charm packs. The charm packs will go with all the patterns that we have that calls for this cute little bundles. I have also located the straight bamboo handles that one of our bag patterns calls for.

Come in this week and receive 25% off your purchase on all batiks. This kind of sale will continue until we move---don’t miss out on the ongoing sale.
See you soon--Barbara

PS: If you read the blog earlier, you will know that I had the dates for Cumberland wrong--sorry!!! I think I am back on track now--yey!!!!
