Big Announcement
No, I am not closing, but… I will not be a traditional retail scrapbooking store.
I was too nervous about opening the type of “store” I wanted to originally – but I have decided it is time to take a risk in this ever-changing world.
So the store will become its namesake…
Trisha’s Crafty STUDIO.
It will not be a typical retail store, you will not walk in and see stock everywhere.
You will instead see lots of workshop tables, crafts projects underway, people using up their stash from home and chatting with fellow crafters.
Education classes and social clubs during the day and at night for us all to have some fun time creating together.
Yes, there is still retail but it is more focused on Core Lines and Mixed Media Supplies.
It is all about the social crafting experience and education, not just a store selling you stuff.
But I still need to pay the rent, power, insurances and core stock items. So to do this, the Studio will operate as a membership service.
You will have the choice to just shop or join up and recieve the extra benefits and rewards as a member.
The choice is yours.
We will have more information coming on the 13th of May for you all to come in and see what it is all about.
MASSIVE CLEARANCE SALE 50% off starts 24th of May.
The clearance sale will start on the 24th of May to the 24th June.
In the meantime, we need to make way for the new store format and need to clear some stock we are no longer stocking as floor stock.
So we will have a month long 50% off sale on all Scrapbooking papers and Scrapbook Embellishments, a selection of chipboards, flowers, dies, stamps, kids crafts, paper toles, Quilling papers and Foil stockers will also be included in this sale.
Not everything is on sale as I will still be stocking core lines and mixed media supplies.
To make way for the new look of the Studio we will be closed from the 25th of June to the 13th of July.
