Look who's one year old!
WOW! Has this year gone fast!! Believe it or not we have been open for an entire year already! I know it hardly seems possible. The past year is kind of a blur, but in a good sort of way. Kind of like riding your favorite roller coaster over and over again. Without even getting sick, you know what I mean (hint: Sherry)?
So what do you do when your "baby" turns one year old? Why, you have a party, silly! That's what we are doing this weekend. We are having our big anniversary sale here at TTD. Here is a shot from the new addition area to the front of the store that I took this morning when we opened.
We are having so much fun this weekend! And besides all of the "specials" we are offering, if any of our customers come in wearing "pink and green" the official Tammy Tadd colors, they get to draw for an extra discount when they check out. Anywhere between 10% to 100% off their purchase. How would you like to win that 100% discount! Wouldn't that be FABULOUS! Here is a shot of our new cash register station. It would have been nice to have this second station ready for this weekend, but it didn't quite work out that way. Still waiting on computer stuff.... could have used a second check out that's for sure!
This "cute little lady" is Kathy Pool; one of our instructors here at TTD. She made this beautiful quilt as a gift for her neighbors wedding anniversary. This is our Les Femmes Rouge, from our Family Favorites book and features the beautiful LakeHouse Dry Goods fabric line; Hydrangea Garden in Heron. Lucky neighbors, I say. I wish she was my neighbor! I told her she could make one just like it for me, although this fabric line also comes in Petal (pink), I bet it would be "smashing" in pink and green!
Anyway, hopefully more pictures will be taken tomorrow, and I'll have more to show you next week!
****Thought for the day****
Here's a funny little story:
When the store manager returned from lunch, she noticed her clerk's hand was bandaged, but before she could ask about the bandage, the clerk spoke up, "Guess what! I finally sold that terrible, ugly bolt of fabric that we've had for so long!"
"You mean that repulsive pink-and-blue with the green cows one?"
"That's the one!"
"Great!" cried the manager. "But why is your hand bandaged?"
"Oh," the clerk replied, "after I sold that guy the bolt of fabric, his guide dog bit me."
Ok, I know it's a stupid joke, but it made me laugh. And the truth of the matter is, every quilt shop has fabric, where you go.... "what was she thinking when she ordered that?". I know my girls think that at times! They keep joking that the next time I'm gone for a show, they're going to have a "the boss got carried away sale", and mark everything down! I don't think some of them are joking either!
Have a great weekend everbody! God Bless,
Tammy
Happy Anniversary and best wishes for MANY more!
