BOGO 50%

For the next few days the "detail man" in the life of Heirlooms & Comforts will be at work on the front of the shop. You may have to walk around his ladder and bucket, but I guarantee that when he is finished with his project we will have a prettier face. Bobby's motto seems to be "never hire a job done that you can possibly do yourself without harm to the object or the craftsman." Several of the ladies in the shop thought that if you all hadn't seen Bobby suited-up for the job at hand that you just might get a chuckle out of this photo. Bottom line - excuse our clutter while Bobby paints the front of the shop.

H&C Feature of the Week: BOGO 50%
At Heirlooms & Comforts this week we will feature BOGO 50% which means that you can buy one item at regular price and get one "same kind" item at 50% off. That means that one yard of fabric qualifies you to buy another yard of equal or lesser value at 50% off; or one pack of machine needles at regular price and another pack of machine needles at 50% off; or one ruler at regular price and another ruler of equal or lesser value at 50% off; etc. The rules are that you purchase one item at regular price and qualify for a second item of equal or lesser value of like classification for half off the original price. No limit to the number of items you may purchase in pairs. Exemptions include sewing machines and sergers, cabinets, and embroidery software suites (Dept 975).

Sewing Camp for Kids
Grandmother, are you expecting a grandchild to spend time with you this summer and you don't know how you will keep her busy for a few days? We have the solution at Heirlooms & Comforts. Every summer we offer Kids Sewing Camp during the last week of July on Monday-Thursday. For 2012 those dates are July 22-26. There is a morning session for beginners and an afternoon session for kids who have previously attended our Sewing Camp. The morning class is available for eight kids at this time; the afternoon class is closed already. Look at the Classes page on our web site to see details for dates, times and cost.
