The Norden Fall Market is coming!
Be sure to scroll all the way down ~ I've added things since this first went out!
It's already August & the folks at Norden are gearing up for their Fall Market. How can this be?? It opens on August 8th & there will be a bunch of new releases from lots of our favorite designers! There are lots of great new things to tempt your needle, whether it's to stitch during your late summer vacation, or a new project to work on during your Olympics marathon watching.
Now, here's another enticing little treat for you. If you place your order any time thru August 7th, we will send it to you with no shipping & handling fees.
Next, when you order thru August 19th, anything from the Norden Show (either the chart by itself or a full kit) you will get double points for those items in our Frequent Stitchers Program. If you are not familiar with our fun program, the way we work it is this: for every (non-discounted) dollar you spend at the shop, we give you a point. When you have accumulated 200 points, you can choose to redeem those points & receive 20% off your entire purchase. So as you can see, you get to 200 points a lot more quickly when we double them for you!
FINALLY, maybe you already have more than 200 points ~ if you're not sure, you can check your latest receipt or invoice & you will find it at the bottom of it. If you (like me...) don't remotely know where your most recent receipt or invoice is, just give us a call or an email & we will look it up for you! If you have over 200 points already, you can redeem them & we'll apply a 20% discount. If you choose to redeem your points, remember that you will not be accruing points (you can't both redeem & accumulate at the same time!).
Now, lets get on to the good stuff!
