Cards on the Web
Cards that our very own Cindy designed have been posted on the website of one of our suppliers.
Whenever Cindy teaches the Quilted Cards class, she designs some new pieces. The technique comes from a traditional Japanese Doll making technique but substitutes Kimono fabrics with Washi (Japanese paper). Hanko Designs is our supplier for kits and beautiful Washi. One day, at the encouragement of our sales rep, Cindy sent some photos to Hanko Designs. A few days later they asked if it was OK to put them on their web site, with acknowledgement that they were from The Mercantile. Cindy said yes. Jump forward several weeks and they are now on their site (along with dozens of other beautiful samples)! Click the link above, then click on the retail web site. Once there, click on the card samples link near the top of the page. Cindy's samples are #12.
We carry the Washi Paper Quilting Kits here at The Mercantile, as well as a selection of Washi and card stock to mount them on.

We're Back
We enjoyed our week off, although we did come in and have a work day to re-set some of the stock. If you cannot find where those flower stamps went... we'll have to help you look, we have moved every single rubber stamp in the store (still in the stamp area, but in different positions...).
We also re-arranged the candle area a little bit.
But most of all, we feel refreshed and ready to enjoy the rest of the summer with all of our friends and customers.
Pictured to the left is the game of Farkel. This is the original pocket version that can go along with you on your vacation trips (however long or short they may be). It comes in a film cannister sized container. The game is good for ages 5 and up. We have this and some travel toys/games from Melissa and Doug to help those travel times go faster. Just promise you won't play if you are taking your turn at driving.
Come enjoy a day in Pendleton. And for those of you who like to come visit and have lunch at The Pendleton Cafe and Coffees, they are now open on Saturdays in the summer. We also have the new restaurant 1826 on the Green in Farmer's Hall.

Vacation Time!
Just a reminder for those of you who may be coming in from a distance. We will be closed for vacation from June 30 - July 5, re-opening on Monday, July 7 at 10 AM. We don't want you to use all of that gas and not be able to see us.
We are taking a few days off for R and R and will return refreshed.
If you have any questions you need answering, either leave a message on our machine at the store (we will check it periodically) or email us at our AOL account (listed below in the class schedule). I check the AOL account daily from home anyway.
We hope you all have a wonderful Independance Day week.
When you do come, some other things going on in Pendleton:
The Farmer's Market is Thursday evenings from 4 - 7 (or when things run out) and now on Saturday mornings from 10 - 2 (or when things run out). The Farmer's Market is on the green and features produce and items from the tri-county area.
The restaurant in Farmer's Hall has re-opened under new ownership. It is now called 1826 on the Green. She is currently open for luches, but will be opening for dinners too. I am not sure of her opening schedule, but we have seen a lot of diners out on the patio for lunch. There are 2 other restaurants on the square and several others within a short distance.
Besides The Mercantile, there are two other gift shops and a gallery right on the square, along with a flower shop, frame shop and some antique stores as well. We also have 2 hair salons and 2 photography studios along with an alterations shop, and 2 real estate offices.
A bakery is slated to open on the square before long and there is another established bakery a very short distance down Mechanic Street.
We hope to see you in Pendleton soon.

Happy's Pick, June 2008
We proudly carry the Great Impressions Stamp of the Month program.
The talented people at Great Impressions Rubber Stamps have a wonderful new featured stamp each month. Along with that stamp are coordinating stamps they use to make up a sample board.
The month after the stamp is featured, our very own in-house talented Terri offers a Stamp of the Month Class. If the stamp is featured in May, the class takes place in June. The samples from Terri's May 2008 class (April stamp) are shown. She will try to use just the stamp of the Month, but periodically may add stamps from other collections in the store. All of her cards are different from those Great Impressions puts on their sample boards.
The stamp shown here is the featured Stamp of the Month for June 2008. Terri will create a class using this stamp in July.
Just contact the store to register for class. We need to know how many are coming so Terri can be prepared.
Students need to bring the stamp for this class.
Check our June classes below to see when Terri has scheduled the May stamp (Fireworks).
Hope to see you soon.
