NOTES FROM THE LODGE Sunday, June 29, 2008

What an exciting week!!! The birthday shoppers were out in full force, the staff cut and cut and cut to keep the shelves full. We also got air conditioning installed and that made everyone really happy. Our space is now much more comfortable.

I have a ton of news---it seems the last few weeks have been chocked full of news and excitement.

1. We have received a nomination from the Journal for Best Craft Shop business. The ballot will be in Monday, June 30 issue. (Tomorrow) Please cut it out and vote for Nutmeg Lodge. If you would like to bring it by the shop, I will get it to the Journal or mail it yourself. Thanks for supporting us!!!

2. We have received our Kid Comfort kits. We received 20 but a couple of them have already been taken. If you have interest in contributing your efforts to this very worthwhile cause, stop by and pick up a package. We are giving you 1 yard of a focus fabric to use in your project.

3. I have finally received the information about Ricky Tims' visit to Frederick, MD. Come by and check out the info regarding getting into this lecture.

4. About half of the Harper's Ferry bundles have been reserved--if you would like to place your reservation, stop by or give us a call.

5. ANNIVERSARY SALE It is that time of year again, I can hardly believe that it has been 7 years since Nutmeg Lodge opened. Our annual Anniversary Sale begins this coming Saturday and will run an entire week through the 2nd Saturday event. Everything store-wide is marked down 25%. Don't miss out!!!!

6. Christmas In July. I have so much going on this month that I decided to make throw caution to the wind and get out the Christmas fabric and run it on sale along with the Anniversary deals. Can you believe that!!!! What an incredible offer---the whole store including Christmas fabric marked down 25%. You really won't want to miss out on that. And don't forget that that begins Saturday, July 5 and runs through Saturday, July 12.

Well that was a ton of news----keep on signing up for the email list, we have started to gather quite a number. It won't be long before you will be receiving something.

See you soon---HAPPY 4TH---Yea America!!! Barbara
