Our New Web Shop, Demo Day, and Tea!

Hi Everyone,

hope you are all keeping well.  We'd like to start by saying a big Thank You to everyone who managed to come and see us on our Demo Day on the 9th.  We had a huge turnout and it was a great day.  We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our special guest demonstrators, Norma T and Mummy While, so many of you have asked us to pass our thanks on to them that this seems a good time to let them know how much we appreciate their hard work.  We hope that you all enjoyed the day as much as we did and that you left feeling inspired and ready to craft.  If you couldn't get here on the day don't worry we have the sample cards available to see in the shop or on our facebook page, www.facebook.com/craftersandco.
The jewellery make and takes were so popular that we have made up some extra kits of both the felt brooch and the miracle bead bracelet and they are available now so you can still get your hands on one if you want, (or maybe you made one on the day and want another.....?).
Lots of people have been asking about the new class dates and we will be getting them out shortly but you'll have to bear with us for another few days, Sara is having a well deserved break with her Mum this week so we promise that we will get them organised just as soon as she is back.
We have had such lovely feedback from our customers so far this year especially with regards to the new look of the shop, but we are always trying to make Crafters & Co the very best it can be.  As such we would like to invite you give us your thoughts and opinions on what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong and how we can improve.  We can't promise that we will be able to respond to everyone individually but we will take everything you say on board and will appreciate the time everyone takes to do this.  You can e-mail us, drop us a letter in the post or just ask for a comment card next time you are in the shop.  Hopefully with your support and suggestions we can continue be the best loved craft shop in Northern Ireland.
Finally for this week's round up we are very pleased to announce that Crafters & Co is now available to buy from online. HURRAH!  Richard has been working hard behind the scenes to get the web shop up and running and has done a fantastic job.  As you know we stock a huge amount of different products so there is still alot of work to do loading products on to the shop site so the range will gradually increase over the coming months.  That said if there is a product you really want to buy online then let us know and we'll prioritise getting it loaded up.  We hope that if you can't visit us in person that you'll still be able to get your Crafters & Co fix via the webshop [fb-share]

(although we'd still much rather see you all in person so we can have a good natter with you!).  It also means that when you get home, put your key in the door and realise that you've  forgotten the one thing you went out for you can still go in, get a cup of tea and simply order it to be delivered direct to you.  What could be better than that?  (It has been pointed out that there are getting to be quite a lot of references to tea in our blog posts, this is true, we make no apologies for it, we LOVE our mugs of tea at Crafters & Co.  As far as we are concerned there is nothing better than a mug of tea and some crafting.  It's ok if you prefer coffee, that still counts as far as we're concerned.)
On that note that about wraps it up for today, so until next time......Happy Crafting.
