[MR] Fabric Hut Sale Next Saturday

[Meghan Elphinstone]

Next Saturday, July 9 is the Big Early Bird Sale at the Fabric Hut. 50% 
OFF everything!!! The Hut opens at 6:00 am 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 am would probably get you in the door with the 
first group of people when it opens at 6:00. Checks, credit cards and 
debit cards (with MC or Visa logo) are accepted. There is a separate 
register for cash only by the door - it is by far the quickest line.

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. The event site 
is 4 miles away by an easy route. Directions below.

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, cotton duck, 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 - this week before Sale Day (off at 4:00 Wed & off Thurs) - and 
put any bolts you want with the
other wools for sale that day. We cannot get anything from the stockroom on
sale day.

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 roaming in a purple T-shirt with a camera - or at the 
cutting table half way back on the left side. Please come by and say 
"hi"  :)
