TPBP Weekly Round-Up...


Hello Friends,

With the Niles Spring Fling event happening this weekend (April 27 & 28), spring is not only in the air, it's also in the stores!  This event is sponsored by the Niles Main Street Association and offers discounts, drawings and refreshments at participating shops in the Niles area.  The Piece by Piece will offer a 10% discount on select items in the store.  

Our online customers will also get to share in this discount by using coupon code SpringFling when shopping in our Etsy shop.  Happy Spring everyone!

On our class schedule we have our first card making class scheduled for this Saturday, April 27.  If you’re looking for some creative play time, this would be a great place to be.  The details for this class and others are on the blog.  We’ve recently added new classes to the schedule so be sure to take a look and see what’s new.

We’ve heard a number of customers say that they have an interest in a particular class, but are not able to participate on the scheduled date.  Not a problem!  If you have a group of 4 or more students, we will happily host a private class for your group on a date that works just for you.  There is no extra cost for this service.

On the list of special events coming up, we have National Scrapbook Day next weekend!  We will celebrate with a little something special for our customers so stay tuned for that announcement in the newsletter and FaceBook next week.

And, locally, here in the Niles, we have the Wildflower Art, Garden, and Quilt Show scheduled for May 19.  Expect the Niles to be buzzing with activities and specials during this annual event.

Wherever you are today, I hope you are enjoying every bit of spring and all that is new and fresh in your life. 

I look forward to seeing you in the shop,

Beverly
