NOTES FROM THE LODGE Monday, March 24, 2008

HAPPY EASTER MONDAY!!!! I did not post the blog on Sunday as usual because I spent the day with my family---we had a birthday party for my son on Saturday, off to church on Sunday morning and then a wonderful day at my sister's for dinner, and all the Easter things. Today I'm back on my food plan and off to the gym to get those pounds off. Celebrating with family and friends is fun, necessary and not a time to deny yourself with all the things the season or celebration has to offer.

Lot's of fun things at Nutmeg Lodge for you to think about. Two great shows to visit in April ---Hagerstown and Berryville. Stop by the shop and pickup a flier for the Hagerstown show that will give you $1.00 off your admission to the show. That show is Sat. and Sun., April 19 and 20 at the Community College in Hagerstown. Then Fri, Sat. and Sun., April 25, 26 and 27 come to the rec center in Berryville for that show. Each of these groups has wonderful quilts to be viewed, some great vendors and a lot of fun demo's, raffle quilts, and food. Each are located near play grounds so that there is something for children to do as well. Also, don't forget to stop at the Nutmeg Lodge booth---I always have things that you have not seen at the shop and sometimes are not available at the shop and special pricing on all items as well.

Personally I am planning a Pampered Chef party. If you would like to come to my home and attend, or place an order---stop by the shop this week and get details (time, place, directions, etc.) All are invited!!!!

Soon to be a part of our new space is a bicycle shop---to celebrate that new business joining us, Laber's Office Furniture, Nutmeg Lodge and Everyday Odds and Ends will be hosting a sidewalk sale on Saturday, April 5 from 10:00 to 3:00. There will be extraordinary bargains to be had at that unique event.

Many things in the works---come in and get all the latest news, fabrics, patterns, etc. We all look forward to your visit. Barbara
