Summer Newsletter – Old Alley Quilt Shop
Wow! How time flies when you are having fun! It has been fun, but 36 ½ years of teaching is enough “fun” for anyone! In other words, it is my turn to retire and join Sharon as a more or less full time owner of Old Alley Quilt Shop. I can’t wait to have time to clean out the weeds from my flower gardens at the shop and at home, plant some vegetables in Joel’s garden (He gardens for his stomach; I garden for my eyes.), clean the garage, refinish furniture, rummage sale before five o’clock, stay in my pajamas until I feel like getting out of them, and all of the things Sharon has been doing for a year!
The problem is that most retires have told me that there really isn’t anymore time to get anything done. It is all an unrealistic pipe dream, but I can dream. Actually, right now, I am not sure the reality of the whole thing is real clear yet, but Sharon says the reality hits August 1st when the “Back to School” sales start, and I won’t care! So I plan on a fun summer and a great August free of back to school preparation! I’ll let you know in our Fall Newsletter how many of my plans turned into reality and how much are on hold for another 36 ½ years.
Actually it is a double ring type celebration as my youngest son finally, after six years of higher education, graduated from the University of MN - Duluth. In other words, he is almost on his own as an independent (read: responsible for his own car insurance and cell phone bill) adult! Which really means, I can now be a true member of AARP!
To celebrate the occasion, Old Alley is having a Bowling Pin Sale! Join us for cake and coffee on Friday and Saturday, June 6th and 7th. Draw a bowling pin for15, 20 or 25% off regular price purchases.
Also in June on the 21st is our Annual Quilting Rummage Sale in the park! Turn your extra stash into cash by setting up a rummage table in the park. The sale will go from 9 AM to 1 PM. Reserve your space by calling or stopping in and letting us know that you will be setting up a table. If you don’t have any stash to sell, be sure to stop in and see what other people have to offer! We will also have 20% off storewide on regular priced merchandise.
Make sure you check out our summer class offerings. From Kids Kamp to Going Green, you should find something to interest you!
