Saturday Night Make & Take

What a fantastic evening!
We had a crowd of rubber stampers join us after the Heirloom Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Festival for an evening of Make & Takes.
A good part of the evening was standing room only. There was a selection of 10 Make & Takes (9 cards and 1 bracelet). Laughter abounded and a great time was had by all.
I neglected to get a photo of our door prize winner with her prize, but she is in the photo at the counter in front of Terri.
We'll have to go in a little early today to prep more Make & Take kits for this afternoon.

Schedule Change

Just a quick note to let everyone know that there has been a change in the scheduled class for the 24th of September. Cindy will not be offering Quilted Cards that evening. Terri will be offering a Painting with Paper class that has already been filled.

Heirloom Rubber Stamp & Paper Arts Festival

The Heirloom Stamp show is coming to Greenville, SC the weekend of September 12 and 13, 2009. They will be at the Carolina First Center.
We still have advance tickets available here $6 each for admission on both days.
We will be open extended hours on Saturday until 9 PM and we will be open on Sunday from 1 - 4 PM. We will have Make & Takes available both days - Saturday from 1 - 9 PM and Sunday from 1 - 4 PM.
(The cards pictured here are not the cards for the Make & Take... just a file photo from a previous class...)

Our New Craft Club Card Policy

We no longer accept Michael's coupons, but...
we have revised our craft club card policy -
1. For every $5 of crafting supplies purchased, we will stamp the card.
2. A full card may be redeemed for $10 off the entire craft supply purchase OR 40% off one craft item at regular price.
3. Upon redeeming the card, please be sure to have your name and contact information (phone # and/or email) on the back of the card.
4. At the end of the last business day of each month, there will be a drawing from the cards redeemed that month. The winner will receive a $50 shopping spree throughout the store (excluding consignment).
This new policy is effective immediately.

Enjoying vacation...

We are enjoying our vacation, but miss our customers/friends...
We will be back on Monday morning though (July 6)... ready to go!
Cindy is checking the email daily (mercantinc@aol.com) so, if you need anything desperately, let her know...
Looking forward to next week, see you then!
