News from the Nest

What were we looking for again?

We're ready to cut and score.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• Good news, bad news: Susan and Gregg's house has sold (after only 10 days on the market), so everything is moving ahead more quickly than we ever would have imagined. We have a full schedule of classes for June, but the store will be closing in mid-July. 
• 
  
• If you would like us to order any dies, stamps, or stencils from Memory Box, we will be placing our final order with them. Please call the store and let us know what you want by Friday, June 5, at the latest. 
• 
  
• If you would like us to cut any book board for you, please call and let us know how many and what size.  We have ordered more book board and will be happy to cut it, but we are running out of time.
• 
  
• If there is ANYTHING you need, please call or stop in by Saturday, June 6th, and we'll let you know if it's something we can still get for you.  
• 
  
• Our merchandise is going fast, so make sure you come in and shop while the selection is still good. All gift certificates and tag sale vouchers will need to be redeemed before the store closes.
• 
  
• This Saturday, June 6th, is our last Make 'N Take.  Stop in and make a few cards. Only $2 each.

AUCTION

Apparently I put a little statement on the calendar that you should check the blog for details on our auction, and then I forgot to put it on the blog. Oh well, you just can't get good help these days.  

On Sunday, June 14th, we will be holding our quasi-annual auction.  We receive a lot of sample items from many of our vendors throughout the year, many of which are not items we normally sell. We want to pass these things along to you, but we want to have fun doing it.  The auction will begin at 1:30, and when you come in you'll receive a quantity of "Nest Bucks" based on your spending during the past 6 months. (For example, if you have spent $700 during 2015, you will receive $700 in Nest Bucks. Everyone will receive at least $500.) You will use the bucks to bid on the items we have.  This is your chance to buy some new craft supplies without any real money ever changing hands. In the past we had new customers drop in to shop during an auction only to be shocked when they heard a stamp being sold for $150 or a pair of scissors going for $300.

I guarantee there will be something you'll want to bid on, a few snacks to go with it, and lots of fun.  This is it - our going away party to show you, our wonderful customers, how much you mean to us.

Some new photos -   In the Flowerbarrow class on June 23rd, we will be making a die-cut wheelbarrow filled with flowers and then placing it in an explode box.  Below is the finished product.
