New York City was...

The city was fabulous! Georgiana and I had a wonderful time. We were on the 44 floor at the Westin, what a view! Needless to say we wined and dined and had a great time. Georgiana was a great tour guide while visiting her old turf. We really kept busy at the National Stationary Show. There will be some terrific new products coming into the Market St. store any time. I can't wait.

The classes should be posted today on our website for Market St. for June. There is more details listed and there are copies available at our store also. Please make note of the change for the Inchies Club first meeting date. It is now Friday, June 26@ 6:00.
We have a pretty fun and busy schedule for June. Make sure you check it out.
Cheryl will be bringing me some samples of her brass stencil class to post for you tomorrow and I will post some of the Outlines sample also.

We still have a few seats left for our Virtues of Vellum class with Stacy from Stacy Stamps. This class is being held Thurs., June 11 at 6:45. You will learn all about vellum and take home some terrific samples.

Gotta get back to work. More news later.
