Happenings at A Place in Time on September 8th, 2012

Good Morning Everyone,

I have an hour and a half before the store opens and I feel like I have 3 hours worth of work to do. Oh well, when you run a retail store you learn to prioritize. The first thing is - the Memory Box order arrived late Thursday afternoon and I had it checked in and out on the floor by the time we opened on Friday morning. Memory Box has not lost any of it's popularity. We sold about a third of the new designs in the first day. Not to fear though, there are many of the holiday designs to chose from...but don't delay, I don't expect it last very long. For those of you that pre-ordered, I have pulled your dies and have them waiting for you. Please pick them up at your earliest convenience.

With our announcement of closing, the store is now beginning to look like it is going to close. Several of you have taken advantage of the great buys on out store fixtures. We still have a good selection - come in and make us an offer. We have a solid oak work table, an Asian styled buffet cabinet, grid wall, slat wall, a Point of Sale cash register, office desk system, plastic paper treys, storage "gondolas", etc. We're even selling our rolling baskets that everyone likes. Make me an offer I can't refuse on any of the fixtures.

Once again, Priscilla and I want to thank everyone who have expressed their best wishes for where our future will lead us. Art and I will continue with the laser engraving operation. Priscilla will "re-invent" herself and is very excited at the prospects. She has spoken with Lynell Harlow (Dreamweaver Stencils) and may host an event in the near future. Priscilla and Fran are also looking at future classes. And you know how popular Fran's classes have been this past year. So stay tuned into the Blog, it will keep you updated and "in touch" with us.

The closing sale will continue for another week or two and then we will lock the doors. You have a lot to choose from, so take advantage of it while the sale lasts. I'm going to start putting "unadvertised items" up for additional discounts. Everyone likes surprises.

That's all for now....  See you tomorrow....
