Oh my gosh, what a harsh late winter we’ve had. I had 6” of snow at my house, a new record in the 26 years I’ve lived there. My dog, who is quarter St. Bernard, thought it was great. I loved looking at it, but it sure made life a lot difficult for those of us on the coast, and near impossible for those in southern Oregon and northern California. It looks like we’re heading into an El Niño weather pattern for next winter. Not so cold and snowy, but very wet. I’m very ready for better weather and the newly erupted spring flowers that should be popping up any day now.
EVENTS
Once again, we will be hosting our annual Easter Egg Give Away on Saturday, April 8th. Choose an egg from our special Easter basket and win the prize listed inside when you purchase a minimum of $20. Prizes will range from a free notepad to a free one yard piece of fabric or maybe you will receive a 30% discount on a future purchase. The fun part is selecting the egg and seeing the surprise inside. Got to love an Easter Egg hunt for sewers!
I will be hosting a May Tea on Monday, May 15th from noon - 2 pm. Our new location has the space for me to be able to do this somewhat traditional tea. I will be serving finger sandwiches and lots of sweet goodies as well as couple of varieties of tea. Dress up in a lovely flower dress and hat or come as you are. This event is free but sign-up prior to May 12th is required. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up early.
