Press and Spinning Demo

There are a few exciting things going on at Made Boutique this week!

1) First of all, last Sunday Made was featured in the Burlington Free Press article on Fall Fashions for Teens. They didn't put any of the pictures online but I took some pics to show you if you missed it:

2) Tomorrow, Joanne and I are going to be interviewed for the Made in Vermont segment on Channel 3 News. I think it's going to air on Friday but I'm not positive. I hope I sound ok!

3) Starting Friday (9/7) through Sunday, we'll be participating in the Fortune Cookie Sale on the Marketplace. You can save 10-40% on everything in the store!

4) Holly aka misshawklet will be doing a yarn spinning demonstration on Sunday (9/9) in front of the shop from 10a-3p. There will be lots of hand spun yarn for sale!
