We have been...

We have been so busy getting things moved around and organized to make room for products coming from the East Corning Crafting Cottage. I think it is starting to all come together.

Then of course we are constantly getting in NEW products! Our Flower Soft is flying off the shelves, as is our large specialty papers that Georgiana and I purchased when we were in New York City. They are beautiful! Terrific for covering your favorite album, covering a lampshade, wrapping that special gift, making cards, scrapbooking, framing to beautify your home and so much more! We have new color coordinated cards and envelopes that you buy separately from Waste Not Paper. They are in great shades of Pool, Papaya, Chocolate, Moss, Curry and last but not least Sage.

July classes will be on the website in a day or so and tomorrow we will have the listings at our Market St. Crafting Cottage. I am giving you a sneak peak this evening below.

Acetate Cards Wednesday, July 8 @ 6:00
Outlines Gift Cards and More Thursday, July 16 @ 6:00
Bella Club Meeting Monday, July 20 @ 6:00
Stamp N Stitch Thursday, July 23 @ 6:00

More news to follow soon.

I need your help...

The Stacy Vellum Class was a huge success! Everyone had a great time and we had a nice visit with Stacy. It was so good to see all of you.

I need your help ladies that were in the Market St. Store on Thursday evening. I lost a bracelet that evening that holds a lot of sentimental value to me. If by chance you found one in your purchases or remember of seeing me with it on, please let me know. I am offering a reward if anyone finds it. Thanks for checking in your bags for me.

We have some new arrivals at the store. Flower Soft is flying off the shelves, some new large specialty papers that were put out on Friday were a hot item on Sat. and more.

Lots of new items coming into the Crafting Cottage on Market St. in Corning. We will have three full rooms upstairs of product plus the hallway is filled to the brim. Cheryl and Ben have been really busy helping to get the product out and ready for all of you to see. Ben is a hoot, he is constantly making fun of me if I ask him to rearrange things because they don't quite match or I just want to tweak them a little bit more. He is a great asset to us this summer.

Well I am off to the lake for a few days. Thanks for looking around for my bracelet girls. More news next week.

Moving right along...











Well by now you have all read our latest news letter and know that The Crafting Cottage will soon be all under one roof, 38 East Market St.! We are all very excited to be getting back together. Although it will be very busy the next few weeks getting things in their place on Market St. it will be nice having all of our fabulous products under one roof.

Our new products from the New York City Stationary Show are starting to arrive! Beautiful papers, die-cuts and more. We also just received our first order of Flower Soft. I should have it out for sale in a day or two. You are going to love it! We did get another order of Smooch in for those of you who may have been limited for your color choices. I expect Magenta Peel Offs to be arriving this week for those of you waiting for the large squares we used in the Magenta class. I will give you a call when they arrive.

Cheryl and I are very excited to announce the first winner of our monthly card club. And the winner is.............Doralee Ennulat! The theme for May was Circles and Swirls. Doralee will receive a $10 gift cert. to our store and also an invitation to attend Barb's Favorite Crafting Giveaway in Jan. 2010. Congrats Doralee!!!Thank you everyone who participated. Remember to get your cards in by the 5th of the month they are representing.

This month we have 13 cards I believe. They are beautiful. Stop by and vote for your favorite one today. Junes theme is A Day To Celebrate.

I am posting a few samples of Cheryl's brass stencil cards for her upcoming class. Also a few samples of the gift card holder from Outlines. The Outlines Gift Card Class has been moved to July. I will post the date soon.

About Me

Corning, New York
My husband and I moved here from Centre County, PA almost five years ago. Working with The Crafting Cottage Family has certainly made the move a positive one. What wonderful friends I've made! When not crafting at one of our two locations, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have two children and two beautiful grandchildren that I love to spoil.
