Welcome to Spring!?!
When I wrote last month we were having 70 and 80 degree days and it was hard to believe that February was here, today it is mid March and it is 54 degrees!!! Far be it from me (or the weathermen) to determine weather in Texas!!!
FAT quarter Tuesday was a hit with everyone and I am glad you all enjoyed it - This Friday is Saint Patrick's Day and may the Luck of the Irish be with you as you select your gold and win a discount!!! (anywhere from 10 -25% off the total sale of your regular priced merchandise!) If you don't believe the luck of the Irish is with you then maybe you will come in on Saturday which is National Quilting Day! Have some cake, enjoy some games and I am planning a big celebration surprise that you don't want to miss - and it is no use asking the girls because they haven't been told what it is either :)
Speaking of surprises and celebrations April 1st is our one year anniversary!!!!
Can you believe it has been a year since I reopened the shop and began this journey - I can't, it seems like the time is just flying by, so mark your calendar for our Birthday celebration as it will be AWESOME!!!!
