AugTember Newsletter!

AUG-TEMBER!

Here is born a brand new month, one what we've created - all hail
AugTember! So called because the wee SHOP-lettes are taking a fun 'holiday'
thing (I think that's what they call them?) at the beginning of September so
we won't be here to provide your start-of-the-month-e-mither. So, this one
is just gonna have to last you, okay? And don't go asking for seconds
before you've finished what's already in your inbox, tsk tsk. You'll be the
death of us.

TALES FROM SHOP


A teenage girl approached the counter...
"Do you sell cloth?" she asked.
"Do you mean for dressmaking?" .
"NO! Magazine!" Came the reply.
"Oh, sorry no we don't"
The teenage girl left.

NEWS


We're all going on a summer holiday...well we are.
As of the 4th of September we will be setting off on holiday for a bit. As
of this moment we will be open during this time, so don't cry now! But, it
does depend on whether our SHOP-angel gets himself a proper job before then.
Obviously, we hope he does get a job. No, we really do ... honestly! Oh,
okay, no we don't we want him as our SHOP-slave!

Sign of the times...
For all of those SHOP fans who've noticed our SHOP sign missing, fear not
we're just having a little re-paint. For those SHOP haters...*RASPBERRY* IN
YOUR FACE.

Next week we will also be finally sprucing up the outside (weather
permitting). We've never really been happy with our signage outside and
there's no guarentee we will be after this latest attempt, but here's
hoping!
