Newsletter -- November 18, 2008
On the eve of our Fall Gala
Since last month's newsletter . . . .
The shipment from our trip to England arrived in Conway shortly after we did, and we spent the two weeks after our return preparing for our Fall Gala. We cleaned and shined, spent two days polishing brass, made two trips each to our painting restorer, and put price tags on things whenever we had a few spare minutes. By Friday evening, the shop was all set for our gala weekend. We're pleased to report that the event was a great success, and by Sunday evening our sales had far exceeded any of our recent on-the-road shows. Thanks to all who came and made the weekend so festive and successful.
We'll exhibit at two more shows before 2008 comes to an end, and then we'll be open during the first three weekends in December. As we did last year, we plan to feature a selection of gift ideas. Many of these will appear in our December Newsletter, scheduled to go online on December 2nd. We invite you to visit in person or online to find a gift for someone on your list.
SHOP HOURS
Our shop is open on weekends for most of the year between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Because we exhibit at a number of antiques shows, we are sometimes away. This calendar contains our upcoming schedule. At other times, we're happy to open our doors, but a call ahead is advised.
