Hello ladies,
Hope this finds everyone well as we all try to survive the summer heat! Seems August heads us into fall and just maybe cooler temps are not too far behind.
I guess our most exciting
news is all the things happening with Lace
Cottage. The girls, myself included, have been busy getting things ordered,
painted, shelves built, and organized to open August 15th!!! They have been checking out other shops, to take the
best of all, to make sure they can offer you the most fun, pleasant shopping
experience you can have.
On a quick visit to Children's Corner, Viv and Phyllis found out that a new pattern will soon be introduced. Need to keep checking the shop about that. Some of the fall fabrics are in already and more on the way.
Classes are already in discussions and sit and smock on Thursday evening has already begun. Pack up your hand projects and join us for that!! 5-7 p.m.
So come together and let's support our members Vivian and Phyllis,
and local shop!! It promises to be exciting!!!
Calling all Wee Care gowns!
Please remember to bring your Wee Care gowns - ready or not - to our
July 14th meeting. It's time to gather the gowns together to share with our
"littlest angels". Thanks!
