This is just a little note to say goodbye from Ian and I as we reach the final closing of the Craft Barn.
We want to say a heartfelt thank you to you all for your support over the last 10 years. We are going to really miss seeing and talking to you all even as we are looking forward to the next chapter of our lives.
We hope you will continue to craft and enjoy this Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782330756810560.post-77008825075982262752018-07-03T14:52:00.002+01:002018-07-03T14:52:42.210+01:00Update
Hi
Once again we have been blown away by the numbers of orders placed once the 70% code went live. As of now I still have 35 orders to pick from 26th June but then we should be able to power through the rest of the outstanding orders as the volume of orders placed dropped significantly In the following days. If necessary we will work through the weekend to get up to date.

A little heads up that I have changed the Discount code to 70%. This can be used for any orders placed going forward. We plan to leave this for a couple of weeks and then if there is still stock left we will do a few mega goody boxes.
There are aprox 1500 different products still available, still plenty to choose from!

Hi Folks
I thought another update was in order as we work our way through the closing process.
I want to thank you for your patience as we managed the large number of orders we received after the 50% code went live.

Thank you for your support over the last few weeks we are very grateful for all your orders. We are finally up to date and things are back to shipping in 24 to 48 hours.

I have some news to share with you all.
We
have loved running The Craft Barn for the last 10+ years, however, Ian
is now almost 68 and really wants to retire plus we have my mum who is
coming up on 92 and although she is fiercely independent she is needing
more support which means trips up to Cheshire at short notice, so we
have made what has been the difficult decision Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782330756810560.post-63893202483225725222018-03-31T07:00:00.000+01:002018-03-31T07:00:05.586+01:00Easter Egg

Are you beginning to think of
