This is short notice, but we didn’t want the secret to get out — The Woolie Ewe is throwing a Surprise Retirement Party for Roxane! Yep, after nearly 12 years, Roxane has decided to embrace the good life and spend more time with her husband, kids, grandsons and, of course, with her yarn stash. So, when you see her in the store after Thursday, she’ll be relaxing in a comfy chair, just visiting and knitting.
Her last day of work is this Thursday, May 16, so please stop by any time between 10:00 and 4:30 (her scheduled work hours) to wish her well and leave a note in her memory book. Since Roxane is such a huge coffeeholic, we’ve decided to celebrate with free K-cups and goodies all day. Just bring your best leak-proof travel mug to enjoy all the coffee, tea, cider, and cocoa you’d like. We’ll even have a cooler of ice and plenty of flavored syrups and cream so you can recreate your favorite iced coffee flavor. Keep in mind that absolutely no straws or disposable cups are allowed in the store, so please remember to bring your leak-proof travel mug.
In addition to sending Roxane off with coffee and goodies, we’re having a special sale in her honor. This nursery rhyme makes me think of someone who is kind and generous, with a big heart and a bigger yarn stash. That’s Roxane, right?
Bah, Bah, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full,
One for my master, one for my dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Bah, Bah, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.
The Bah, Bah, Black Sheep Sale starts on Roxane’s retirement day, This Thursday, May 16, and continues through Saturday, May 18.
Fill a paper bag with your choice of specially marked yarn for $45, or fill three paper bags for $120.
We’ll provide the bags. Your savings will vary depending on your yarn choices and how much you squish — just don’t tear the bag!
