Greetings!

Roses are red, Violet's cheeks are too! Happy Valentine's Day to all our readers and to those of you who live locally, give yourself an extra hug and a kiss for getting through what was a pretty trying week for the Taos community. Twirl, like many businesses, was forced to close its doors for a couple of days (apologies if you needed anything during that time) but we're now back to normal and feeling all warm and lovey. We'd like to share the love with a special Valentine's gift of 20% off any item in the store between now and February 20. Simply print the coupon below and hand it to one of our sales staff when making your purchase. 

Calling all Lego fans, don't miss our mini-figure swap on Friday 25th Feb from 3pm - 5pm. Bring along your duplicates, swap them for something new to you and while you're here, try out some new just-in Lego sets and maybe win one to take home!

We've been having a great turn-out for our music and ballet classes, it's nice to see so many regular faces getting to know each other and all the songs and dances. As part of our mission to get out and about even more this year, Angela took her baby music class on the road to Red River and had a great time. She's going back in the Spring and would be happy to do classes in other communities, so send in your suggestions. 
To any school teachers or parent reps out there, Angela is also scheduling class field trips so give her a call on 751 1402 or drop her an email at playspace@twirlhouse.com.
