Put on Your Party Hats, The EWE is Turning 10!
It's hard to believe the time went so fast, and I still feel very much like a rookie. I hope you all will help me celebrate--the shop is having its BIGGEST BASH EVER on Saturday, July 24th, starting at 11am. We will be having special events throughout the day, including a GIANT GROUP PHOTO in front of the shop at 11:30am, with champagne and cake at noon. Grandma Genevieve will be running a FREE make-it-and-take-it needle bird station all day, there will be special prizes given out all day for vintage items like the oldest EWEsletter and the most saved EWEnite flyers, and at 4:00pm we will be giving away a Colinette Afghan Kit! Also included in all this fun is the shops BIGGEST One-Day-Sale EVER in the history of the EWE! You dont want to miss this special day. Happy birthday to EWE!!! !

What's New at the EWE!
We had sooo much fun at the Turkey Trot last year that we decided to do the Shamrock Run too, and now we shanghaied my cousin Kelly to join us. Ahhh, the promise of a free cold beer at the finish line seemed to be all the motivation we needed! Believe it or not, this is me and Kelly after the race!!

What is Erin Knitting?
Congratulations to new Grandma Marcia (Emmetts pre-school teacher). Her first grandbaby was born this summer and her second grandbaby was born on Halloween! I couldnt resist that opportunity to knit her a pair of pumpkin hats. If you have never made one of these, you should! The Ann Norling Fruit Hat pattern has been a best-seller in my shop since I opened. It is the ultimate fast and fun project. I bet I have made enough of these for a whole fruit salad by now!!

What's Cookin' Good Lookin?
Cousin Kelly was sweet enough to sign the two of us up for a cupcake-making class through West Senecas community Ed. Since then I have been going cupcake-crazy!!! I made a batch of Strawberry cupcakes with fresh strawberry buttercream frosting for Mothers Day, cupcakes with bright green seven-minute icing and topped with plastic tree frogs for Emmetts pre-school bake sale, and most recently deliciously simple vanilla cupcakes with deliciously simple vanilla frosting for the Shop Hop from a childrens book the children and I found at the library titled appropriately Cupcake. (The vanilla cupcakes were outstanding...I'll have Tony put the recipe on the Whats Cookin' page for you) Enjoy!!

Island of Misfit Instruments!
Since Erin puts all kinds of announcements about canning jars & baskets and such in the ewesletter... and I get innundated with them...and I do the updating. I thought I would add my own announcement on the homepage. So, If you're have in your possession any old and/or unwanted musical instruments, they're always welcome...buy, sell, trade or donate. See Tony for details.
