[MR] Fabric Hut - Big Sale - July 9

[Meghan Elphinstone]

For those Atlantians who live within convenient distance of Norfolk, VA:

This year the Big Early Bird Sale at the Fabric Hut will be Saturday, July
9th. 50% OFF everything!!!   The Hut opens at 6:00am on Sale Day.
Get your hand stamped by 7:00 am to get the sale price anytime during the
day. Minimum cuts of one yard. Being in line by 5:00 would probably get you
in the door when it opens at 6:00. There is a separate cash line near the
door - it is by far the quickest.

July 9th is the same day as the Birthday event for Marinus this year. You
can come scoop up buys and then attend our local event.

Fabric Hut stocks a large selection of items that would be of interest to
the re-enactor such as: canvas hair interfacing, trims (low right now), a
little tatting lace for late period and cotton batting for padding. Fabrics
include silk, muslin,
bengaline, ecclesiastical brocades, lots of wool and linen, silk organdy and
organza for parlets, and sometimes osnaburg! If you want to avoid blends, be
sure and check the end of the bolt for content.

I will be glad to take you into the stockroom to look through the rest of
the wool before the day of the sale and put any bolts you want with the
other wools for sale that day. We cannot get anything from the stockroom on
sale day. It's a good idea
to schedule via email - shilo at srclink.net - or call first - 757-588-1300 W -
to make sure I'm at work.

Mundane note: I consider notification of the sale a service; I do not
benefit in any manner - other than seeing some friendly faces during a 13 hr
work day - I'll be at the cutting table half way back on the left side.
:)
