Just a quick post to let you know when our doors will be open over the holidays:

Today (Dec. 24th) until 4pm.

Dec. 25th and 26th we are CLOSED.

Dec. 27th, 28th, 30th, 31st we’ll be opening at 1:00pm.

January 1st we are closed.

January 2nd everything reverts to normality .  . . whatever that might be.

Come and visit if you have time, but get here quick if you want cookies.  You’d  be amazed at how many cookies I can eat.

Oh, and Merry X-mas, Happy Hanukkah, Delightful Kwanzaa, or just enjoy some good food and some good times with your family, friends, pets or by yourself.

Once again, a pictureless post, for which I appologize.

One year ago today, after a month of sanding, painting, trips to Ikea and Home Depot, Mary and I opened Ariadne’s doors for the first time.  It has been an amazing year for both of us, in which time we’ve watched our little fledgling business take its first steps.  We’ve learned a lot, met a lot of amazing and wonderful people and had a lot of fun.

Oh, and Mary did that baby thing too.  He’s pretty cute, even if he can’t run the vacuum cleaner yet.

So, to celebrate and give a little thanks to you, in-store purchases will all (except for the books and magazines as per their less-than-stellar mark-ups) be 15% off for December 2nd.  Kind of a belated birthday present, but we’re closed today. If you aren’t in town, but want to celebrate use coupon code HAPPYBIRTHDAY and get 15% off your online purchase!

Extra special thanks go out to anyone who’s ever washed our dishes, brought us food, brought us milk, made us tea, knit sleeves, hung our peg-board, rearranged our needles, driven me to the hospital, moved our furniture, listened patiently to us complain/lament/cry and anything else above and beyond.  We couldn’t have done it without you.

So here’s to the next year.  We promise to keep seeking out new and unique yarns in a range of prices, keep our space as open and comfortable as we can, and keep the kitchen stocked with cookies and tea if you promise to keep coming by and allowing us to enjoy your company.

Deal?
