Hello Everyone! I hope all is well you and your families and that you are enjoying the warmer weather.... I certainly am! I had to laugh at myself the other day when the temperature was in the fifties and I had to take off my winter coat because I got hot all of a sudden. It felt like a heat wave (I'm quite certain it was not a Hot Flash; so far, I have not had to deal with those lovelies just yet) and I realized how comfy our winter clothing can be. For example, I love wearing my jacket (not coat) daily, all day long..... and I did not wear it this past Friday because I chose a cardigan sweater instead. I honestly missed being all zipped up and snug as a bug inside of it and as crazy as it might sound, I almost felt naked without it. And with that.....The next subject please!
We have a new team member to welcome, YEA for us! Please stop by the Shoppe to meet our newest team member Pam. She joined us this week and we are extremely excited to have her on board with us and we are looking forward to bright and merry future with her. With that exciting announcement, we must also announce that Gloria is moving on to pursue her passion of sewing and setting up as a vendor at events and craft shows all over the state of Illinois. She will be missed but she will be in occasionally to sew and visit with everyone and we wish her well!

We have been extremely busy and working hard on a few new happenings for the Shoppe. We will host our FIRST Party with the Night Crew Sale on April 16th at 6:30 PM. What is that you might ask........ It is a SALE event where we can all have some fun and It will be LIVE on Facebook. What it is NOT..... It is NOT the same thing as our Facebook Fridays. You must be a Facebook user and Join us LIVE on Facebook on the date and time specified to participate in this Party / Sale event. Offers will not be valid in store and when the LIVE video ends, the sale prices will go away- no exceptions! In the event that they do become available in the Shoppe, they will be regular price. You will not want to miss this Party.
