New and Improved!!

Many of you that have been in the shop this month may have noticed the absence of our usual tea-pot-and-china-cup service. We still serve the same great teas - just in a different container.

Our new space does not allow for a kitchen - a necessity for serving tea in pots and china cups - so we've had to change to paper. However, if you would like to drink your tea old style, you are welcome to bring your own cup or mug; we just can't wash it for you. The good news is that our fabulous neighbor at Dinners Ready will let us use her convection oven so we can still serve fresh scones! And, we'll still have tables for you to sit at and enjoy your treats.

It's gonna be fabulous!! :-)

Big Moving Sale!

If you've been in the shop lately, you may have noticed some pre-moving disarray going on. That's because we're getting ready for a HUGE moving sale! You know how it is - you want to move as little as possible into your new home. So mark your calendar for next weekend's sale! You'll find china, furniture - oh, and YARN! We'll have lots and lots of yarn for sale at bargain prices, 30-75% off. And this is all because we appreciate you so much and want to do our best to enhance your yarn stashes!

Fri, Sat and Sun, Sept 18-20. Be there with your BIG shopping bags!

*Cute guy for carrying your bags is busy that weekend...

We're MOVING!!!!!

Yipee!!!!! Finally!!!!!!

We are moving to Lake Forest Park Towne Centre at the end of the month. We don't have a "solid" opening date yet but we are shooting for the first week of October. We are SO excited! This is where we have always wanted to be and many of you have wished for this as well. Parking galore!!!! The sign isn't up yet - the photo is just a mock-up - but we'll be on the top part of the mall; close to the Bar & Grill. (Can you say "happy hour?")

Moving also means moving sales! We need to slim down a little to make the move easier. Be sure to come by this month for some great deals. :-)

Stirch 'n' Pitch

Calling all Stitch 'n'Pitchers....be sure to stop and visit the Village Yarn and Tea spot while at the game.

Be sure to also check out the handmade needles from Bali, Good To Be Girl's stitch markers, and cute functional fabric project bags.

The doors open at 5:05 pm, with tha game starting at 7:05 pm. See you at the game!

A Taste of Fall

Mums in the marketplace, shorter days, a nip in the air this morning......these all signal that Fall is on its way. And with the start of Fall it means time to start thinking about sweaters, hats, mittens , socks, and afghans.

Afghans make great portable knitting projects and we have 2 different afghan classes starting in September. Susan will be offering a new session of the ever popular Great American Afghan starting Monday, Spetember 28th. Comprised of 24 different squares, the afghan will help you to build your knitting skills.

For the Aran lover Faye will be teaching the Taste of Aran Afghan starting Tuesday September 8th. The 20 squares in this afghan will help the knitter to master the various Aran stitches so familiar in Aran sweaters.

Both afghans are on display in the shop and either would make a treasured heirloom.

The Fall Class schedule is coming together and will be out soon. with great projects for Fall knitting or Christmas giving.

The days are warm, but the nights are cool... its time to start planning Fall knitting projects.
