NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, October 21, 2007

Life at the new location really is wonderful---we love the space we have to move around, especially when we have a lot of shoppers--we love the view out the front window---especially when the wind is blowing and it doesn't try and come in the front door---we love the easy ability to move things around and "stage" the new arrivals or things that are marked with special prices---we love the fact that so many new faces come in everyday---and we really love that all of our customers from the old location have found their way to the new one. If you have not made it in yet, don't put it off too long, we have a lot of great things going on.

Speaking of great prices---we have all of the Halloween kits, fabric, fat quarters and patterns priced at 25% off. A great bargain to get things ready for a festive October 31. We really do have a great array of vintage and appropriate colors and patterns for a truly unique look for your trick-or-treaters. Come in and check them out.

We also still have a few kits for our Quilt Pink event as well as fabric, fat quarters and the Quilt Pink Magazine. Remember that when you pick up a kit, return the finished block, you will get $2.50 off your next purchase. Also, don't forget, that coming soon we will get together for a store-wide, fun-filled event to sew our blocks together and complete several quilts that will go on EBay auction next October. Stay tuned for this fun-filled event.

I am off to Market this week and am excited about finding all of the new and wonderful items that the industry will have available for me to bring back to you. As we have done in times past, we will be hosting our famous Market Review on Friday, November 9 at 5:30. Come ready to see and hear all about the news from Market, purchase the new items that have arrived, get in on the great door prizes and have tons of fun!!!!

On Saturday, November 18 we will be celebrating our GRAND OPENING with very special prices, very special events and very special door prizes for a day filled with fun, entertainment and excitement that can only be found at NUTMEG LODGE.

I am sure that there are many things I am forgetting to tell you, come by, call or email if you have a question or need a specific item.

By the way, I will still be in Houston next Sunday so I won't be posting the blog next week--tune in on Sunday, Nov. 4 for a new update. Talk to you later, Barbara
