All of us at The Granary would like to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with family and friends! So that we can have time with our families, we will be closing at 2pm on Wednesday, November 27 and will be closed on Thursday, November 28 for Thanksgiving. We will be open again on Friday at 10am!

This is a rather long email but there's just so much going on that we don't want you to miss!

Holiday Open House

As a way of saying "thank you" for being such wonderful and loyal customers and friends, we'd like to invite you to our first ever

Granary Holiday Open House

Friday, December 6 6-9pm

Come by for some holiday cheer with the Granary's staff, enjoy yummy treats and beverages, and maybe even get a sneak peek at a few new samples that will be offered on our Winter 2014 class lineup!

Sample Sale

Friday November 29 - Annual Sample Sale

For those of you who have asked whether we ever sell our shop samples, the answer is "Yes!" and here is your opportunity to purchase something special. Once a year, The Granary's staff offers some of their meticulously handmade samples for sale just in time for the Holidays. The Sample Sale begins the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 29, and continues through the end of the year. The selection will change weekly as new samples become available. No credit cards will be accepted for the purchase of samples; cash is preferred.

Quilt Appraisal

Do you have a special quilt you've wanted to have appraised? Here's your chance! Nancy Bavor, American Quilter's Society Certified Appraiser of quilted textiles, will be in the shop on Tuesday, December 10 from 10:30am-5:30pm for quilt appraisals. Please call or stop by to make your appointment. Appraisals are $45 per quilt - appointments are scheduled in 30 minute increments. A quilt appraisal would make a great holiday gift!

Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday was started in 2010 by American Express to celebrate and promote the small businesses...namely, your local and independently owned shops. This year Small Business Saturday is on November 30. The day traditionally falls on the Saturday between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Make an effort to shop locally on this day....your shops and your neighborhood benefit! Hope to see you here at The Granary!
