Forgot to mention that there are lots of sales and activities throughout the year===
fat quarter frenzy-- all FQs in the shop are either 1.50 or 2.00 each
kitty cat sale--to support a local no kill shelter- each cat food donation earns % discount
spring cleaning- staff dresses "spring cleaning" and there's lots of discounts
pj sale--as one of the other shops mentioned--we do a pajama sale in January
Shamrock sale- pick a shamrock off the board and take the % discount indicated
customer appreciation sales a couple times a year-- find a "kitty" hidden around the shop for a door prize or discount
special discounts for members of different sewing clubs the shop sponsors during the year
they always seem to be looking for ways to make their customers feel welcome and appreciated...a fun place to shop
