Green Holiday

Good morning all,
Thanks to everyone how attended our Fun with Flowers event yesterday. It was a huge success and we were very busy. Thank you Kim! In addition to all Kim's beautiful creations, we have a few Christmas greens arrangements and swags. Thank you Margaret! Very pretty and less than half the price at other retailers. $10 - $22 each! Bring the pot and bow back next year and we'll create another arrangement for your enjoyment for a reduced price.
Next months event will be December 8, 2012 reintroducing Greenpurse with featured designer ME! As always FREE refreshments and fun. 10-2. Happy, happy week and Go Pack!

Zippy the Turkey

Good morning all,
A while back I decided it would be appropriate to make store decor from torn out zippers. We started out with Zippy the Chimp

and next came Zippy the Mummy

and now we have Zippy the Turkey!

A Blessed Thanksgiving to everyone and don't forget our event and sale November 23rd and 24th at Arnst Zipper Studio 923 Michigan Ave. 10-2. There will be refreshments and a demonstration by Kim Kuehl on flower arranging for the holidays. Items for sale include wool mittens and pins, zipper apparel, purses, T-shirts, holiday decor and so much more! Happy, happy week and Go Pack!

What is a T-shirt Skirt?

Good morning all,
The winner is...Arnst Zipper Studio! A $100 check was cut and dropped off at the Salvation Army this past Monday. Thanks to all who participated!

I'm not sure how the sale went yesterday at South High School, but one of the new items for sale are T-shirt skirts. Margaret (seamstress at Arnst) saw some at a craft fair and thought they were really cute. I mentioned it to the girls in my classes yesterday and there seemed to be quite an interest. We'll try them out in the store and see how it goes. We have lots of other unique gifts perfect for Christmas, so come in soon before they are all gone! Happy, happy week!
