AN AUTUMN QUILTER'S GATHERING AT COUNTRY HEART & HOME

Since the sale of Homespun Memories and the addition of it to Country Heart & Home, we have been very busy filling up our shelves with endless new products, fabrics and kits.  For those of you that have visited since our amalgamation you would see that we just don't have the space in our store for classes on a regular basis.   Dianne and I have been wondering what we could do to get all our quilter's and sewers together for a weekend of craft, sewing, food and fun and It gives me great pleasure to offer you a wonderful Patchwork & Quilter's Weekend Retreat from Friday 20th May to Sunday 22nd May.  This will be a weekend of catch up on UFO projects, help to get started on something new or start on one of the many projects we will have new and ready to go in Kit form. Dianne and myself will be here for all your quilting, sewing and crafting questions and help.  We are of the strong philosophy that Quilting and Craft is about gathering together, sharing and laughing all in the one mix, so this will definitely be a fun weekend to relax and enjoy!
 
We have found a hidden gem of a location right smack dab here in the middle of Bright!  Less than a 2 minute walk to our store, which means Country Heart & Home will be open to you virtually 24/7, perfect for a late night dash to get some fabric or thread! Once you park your car you will not need to get into it for the whole weekend! How relaxing is that!!!
 
It's called River Lodge at the Bright Caravan and Camping Ground just off Cherry Street, first right off Delany Avenue after the Morses Creek Bridge.  It has 10 rooms with 2 sets of bunks  (2-4 people per room) Bathroom is shared between two rooms, very private, lovely and clean and bright and cheery.  The large lounge and dining areas are perfect to set up and sew either lounging on the couches and window seats looking out at the lovely park or setting up your machine for some serious sewing!! Great natural lighting, Peaceful and perfect!!

Well stock is arriving daily at a phenomenal rate for our Christmas in July 2010.  I have just arrived back from the USA and have brought back some absolutely awesome goodies!!!!  Still a bit jetlagged though!! Hence it is 5am and I am writing this email.
 
This is just a little reminder of our upcoming event, one that you will definitely not want to miss.  We still have a few places left for the dinner on Saturday 24th July at Lawler's, this is a great night that you will not want to miss.... I have some fun games planned, gifts for everyone from our Special Man dressecd in Red and we will have some fantastic items up for grabs with our Annual Raffle. I have created a slide show of my recent trip to the USA of all the fantastic Christmas shops and museum that I visited that will be on view at the dinner.   Call Jamilla today on 03 5750 1304, book a table or just yourself, don't worry we will seat you with other 
Christmas nuts like ourselves.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY 2010

You are personally invited to
CHRISTMAS IN JULY 2010
Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th July 
10am  - 5pm
Get ready to have a ball. Our event will begin with snow falling and our very talented Santa opening the doors at 10am sharp.  Come on in and see all our stunning new ranges of Christmas decorations and collectables.  With my shopping trip in June I have brought back some stunning new goodies, traditional, modern, country, woodsy and bejewelled, something for all my Christmas lovers, and yes we have finally located half trees again and a huge range of different trees from 2ft to 10ft.  We will have loads of specials for everyone and  every hour we will have free raffles for you to win some fantastic Christmas trinket continuing til our last one of the day at 5pm.  In the afternoon we will serve our infamous Gluhwein and roasted chestnuts.
 
Our infamous Christmas Dinner will be held again at Lawler's Restaurant at 7pm.  I know it's cold outside but no early diners would be much appreciated so we can get things organised before you get there.  Dinner will consist of their fantastic Christmas fare with yummy desserts and our special Santa will arrive sometime during the night to bring all you good boys and girls a little Christmas treat.  Cost for the dinner is $45 per person (sorry no allowance for children). Book in as a couple,  or a table or we will put you with others to get together and have some festive fun with strangers and friends alike.  Of course we will have some fun games to play and I'll make a point that you might want to brush up on your Christmas trivia and your singing voice!!! We will hold our usual extravaganza Raffle with great prizes.  But book your seat as soon as you can  as this dinner books out quickly and I would hate to disappoint.  Call Jamilla or Brendan on 1800 813 992.  They also have great accommodation directly behind at fantastic rates, so if you need somewhere to stay, it's nice and close and well appointed.  You can also contact Jenny Chalwell at the Bright Visitor Information centre on 1300 551 117 for some great accommodation ideas and value too.
 
Sunday morning from 10am the snow will continue to fall, the first  free raffle will be at 11am  and continue on the hour, our last raffle will be at 1pm which will be something huge as a big thank you to all of you that have come to our great event.  Eggnog and candied chestnuts will be served to warm us all.  A great opportunity to finish up your Christmas buying.
 
Looking forward to seeing old friends and new alike, see you all in July!!!
 .
