Handmade Memories Newsletter 
June 2010
Well, here
goes - This is Handmade Memories' last official newsletter!!!! First of
all, I want to thank all of you for being such wonderful
customers and friends. The last nine and a half years have been soooo
much fun. My husband and I are going to practice our retirement. He still
has a few years until he retires but we decided that we should slow down
a little and play a little more. The only thing that I hated was having
to close the shop, but instead the good news is April is going to buy
the store. Now I will be able to see everyone all of the time just
like before. April is going to let me work sometimes and help her out
until she gets used to everything. I am so excited for both of us!
New Owner
/ New Name - Handmade Memories' last official day will be June 9th
to give April time to get things ready for Knitters Lane which
will open on June 15th at the same time and place. April is planning a
big Grand Opening party on the 15th and she will be staying open
until 9:00 so that you will all have time to come join the party. She
is planning door prizes and refreshments.
The Yarn
Of The Month - Some things will change and some things will stay the
same. The yarn of the month is one of those things. April is planning
to continue to have the yarn of the month. Each month there is a special
yarn on sale and a sample of the yarn knitted up. You never know what
it is going to be - but it's a terrific deal so you are going to want
to come see what it is each month, and get a great deal on a great yarn.
Midnight
Free For All - The last Midnight Free For All will be June 4th.
Here's what happens - once a month we all get together and sit and visit
and knit, crochet or work on whatever needle work you want to do. Some
of us stay until midnight, but you are welcome to come and go as you please.
Feel free to bring a snack to share if you would like (or not - we don't
have many rules.) Everyone is welcome, so bring a friend
.
OK, so the basic idea will stay the same but - well how do I say this
- April is a lightweight!! A 13-hour day is a bit much for her so she
is changing the name to Friday Night Knit Nite and only staying open until
10:00.
Weaverville
- Despite other changes - Weaverville, of course, will be the same as
every year - way too much fun!!! April is letting me be in charge so I
still get to have all the fun of organizing everything
This year's
Creative Escape is planned for the 23rd, 24th & 25th of July
so now is the time to make your final plans for Weaverville.
If you have
gone before, you already know how much fun it is, and if you haven't,
trust me, you will love it. Every year we take an opportunity to get out
of the coastal fog and spend a weekend in Weaverville in July. We go to
the Weaverville Victorian Inn on Friday afternoon and stay until Sunday
afternoon. The all-inclusive price covers your room, an 8' table in the
conference room, goodie bag, snacks, beverages, games, prizes, mini classes
& and a ton of fun. It also includes all meals: Starting Friday night
with dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch & dinner and Sunday's brunch.
You can take any craft projects you would like to work on and leave it
set up in the conference room all weekend. You are welcome to stay up
as late as you would like in the conference room. We are next to the pool
so you can take a dip anytime and of course if you would like to shop,
there is beautiful downtown Weaverville. You can feel free to join in
all or none of the activities as you please. We are just there for fun.
The cost of the weekend varies depending how many people share a room.
Some people like their own room and others like to share a room and save
money since they aren't really in their room all that much.
Room
Price
One person per room - $275 each
Two people per room - $225 each
Three people per room - $190 each
Four people per room - $175 each
I have my reservation
list started so if you are planning on going to Weaverville please let
me know as soon as possible, so we can reserve your spot. We have room
for 20 people so start getting your friends together for this great getaway
April's
Newsletter - April will be starting her own newsletter to keep you
up on the latest news, but for now - make sure you come in for the Grand
Opening on June 15th and support Knitters Lane. April has lots of fun
ideas coming up!!!!
Oh, one more
thing - would you bring any outstanding Gift Certificates in asap so that
we can cash them in before Handmade Memories turns into Knitters Lane?
We would appreciate it. Thanks
April's web
page will be www.knitterslane.com
Her email is knitterslane@suddenlinkmail.com
