Shop Hop Passport Pre-Sale ends June 24th & other news...
Hello! It has been some time since a newsletter has gone out and I hope this finds you doing well. It's been busy around here and I had a bout of sickness that had me in bed for several days. Unfortunately that meant the store was closed and some of you didn't see the announcement on the website or Facebook before coming to the store. I'm sorry about that and I do hope you will return another time.
I would like to let you know now that the SHOP WILL BE CLOSED July 4th, 5th and 6th. My sister is traveling here from California for the 1st time in about 5 years to visit and I would like to be able to spend quality time with her while she is here. The shop will re-open July 9th, regular hours.
Seams Sew Together is participating in the All New England Shop Hop that will be taking place in the months of September and October this year. Passports are sold in the All New England Shop Hop Magazine that has information on all 91 shops participating, maps of the shops in their regions, exclusive list of stores' special shop hop hours, prize information, as well as patterns and articles.
We are running a Pre-Sale on the magazine until the end of the day June 24th which will help the shops determine how many magazines they need to have in store to best accomodate all our customers. The magazines are $11.95 +tax and will be available for pick-up the 2nd or 3rd week in July. Pre-purchase your magazine to be sure to get one! Just email me and let me know if you will be picking it up or I can ship to you if needed, with a $5 flat rate for shipping added. OR of course I'd love for you to stop in the store, browse and pre-order your magazine.
In other news, we are considering bringing wool into the store. We are in the investigation phase to see if it makes sense for us to do this. There have been two stores in the last several years that have closed that were great resources for wool connoisseurs. Could we become the new shop for you? We won't know if it makes sense to do that without your feedback. Slowly we have been sending out surveys to everyone on our email list but it is taking a long time doing it the way we've been doing it. With that said, a link to the survey may speed things up a bit. If you HAVE NOT filled out the survey yet, please do before you forget, lol. Clicking on the blue text should take you right to the survey, answer what pertains to you(if you don't do wool applique or incorporate felted wool in your crafts, then you don't need to answer all of the questions,) and submit.
Your responses are greatly appreciated. If you have friends who should see the survey too, feel free to forward the email to them.
Wednesday, June 19th will be another Live on Facebook 7:00pm to approx 7:30pm. You will get a peek at some of the new things we have in store and if you can't make it in to the shop it's a great way to do a little bit of shopping and support a small business.It is interactive, in that you can comment while we are Live and ask questions, respond to what I'm saying or just say hello!
If you need an air-conditioned place to sew, our classroom is available during open hours for just $2/hour! Come and sew to your hearts content with adjustable coolness and your favorite music if you want it! It's a very pleasant space to work in with cutting mats and pressing stations available. Bring your own tools and machine, or rent one of ours.
Looking forward to seeing you and all your projects you are working on this summer!
Sew happy!
