Ball & Claw Newsletter #14
The summer has whizzed by, and I realized I haven’t sent out a newsletter in quite some time. My apologies, and now I am going to bombard you with information.
The beginning of the summer started with a disaster that we’ll call the P-town incident. Too much to tell, and this is not the place, but after a rough start to the season, the rest of the summer has been fantastic.
The Rope Shed Bar (brought to us by Stockade Tavern of Kingston) has been up and running. Open on the weekends, it’s a lovely addition where you can get a refreshmentand enjoy it in the garden or stroll around the shop. More hours are being added for the autumn.
Our lovely flower shop is blooming into Make Nice Bouquet Bar. Selby is rebranding and becoming sole proprietor of the sweet little corner of the building. Watch out for classes, special events, and more flowers than ever!
As we head into the cooler weather, the shows are in full swing. There’s still time to sell with us at the events happening at our shop. We’d love to have you and all your old stuff.
Here’s a quick list of what’s going on at the shop and a couple of things that we’ll be doing in other places:
September 5 & 6 1 - 6pm in the garden of Ball & Claw
