Halloween is On Sale
|
|
|
|
We usually pack up all the Halloween stuff and store
it, but
this year it's ALL ON SALE!!! 50% off all the
stuff, 40% off books. Come relieve our storage
burden and get some goodies. You'll be so psyched
when you unearth it next year.
It won't stay around long though, so come in by
Sunday Nov. 6th.

Red Tickets are Here!
|
|

Couldn't believe it myself, but 'tis the
season. We're rolling out the rolls of red tickets, one
per every $25 purchase, as it ever was, for the
Christmas Eve Main Street drawing. What a
great tradition. Thanks go to the Nantucket Chamber
of Commerce for pulling it off every year!

Get Crafty
|
|
|
|
I don't know about you, but when the sun goes down
at 4:30 I just want to get busy on some crafts! Our
shelves are well-stocked with great new and
innovative craft books, with especially good knitting,
crochet, and
woodworking selections. Check them out and make
something special for someone special. It's so
satisfying.
