Rubees page

Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Rubee, you may have received an email from me with our latest offers on, or an irregular newsletter that I send out

Well I am excited to tell you about the new shop we are opening in Peterborough City centre on the 14th of June. It will be in the lovely Victorian Westgate Arcade which is just off the Queensgate Centre which homes shops like John Lewis and Marks & Spencer. The new shop will also feature a Craft Rest Stop area upstairs where you can drop in for a tea or coffee, read a crafty magazine or even do a bit of crafting with their own or with our crafty bits right in the middle of the city! The warehouse shop will still be open too so it's going to be busy for me too - I mean where's a girl supposed to have her nap?

New products will aslo be in the shop. Cuttlebugs, Gorjuss, weenicons and more please pop in if you are passing.

 The Teams said  It was lovely for them to meet lots of people at the Shepton Mallet craft show. Here you can see a picture of the stand. Quite a few of our existing customers popped in to say hello.

Lynda Chapman was demonstrating the WOW embossing powders we have yet to put on the website and Louise made a lovely Vellum and embossed butterfly card.

we are thinking about the next time we will be at a show. if you have any ideas please let us know.

At Easter the Good News for our bargain hunters is that we are going to have a stand at the Stitch & Creative Crafts Show at Shepton Mallet on the 22nd to the 25th April.

This Saturday we will be opening the warehouse to the Public for a one day clearance sale on the 1st of May 10 until 4pm. we have changed the layout of the warehouse and so it should be a great deal quicker to get round than last time but we hope as many people come as possible as that is the only way we can continue to hold this type of event!

I work with all of the others at Pondskipper Crafts everyday and have done since I can remember and - unless I can sneak a half day - am in the shop welcoming our customers and occasionally playing with them (they like it when I have them throw a rag bone - it's a simple thing and especially keeps the men visitors happy  whilst their partner has time to look around).

Occasionally I have to look around the warehouse just to make sure things are kept ship shape. This picture shows me supervising the Logistics Controller, John, on a forklift truck, unfortunately he was wearing shorts, not so good when you are only 12 inches high and looking upwards..!

.

(this is me on a bad hair day) I hope you enjoy the offers I bring you, we always try to bring quality and value for money to our customers.

I am thinking of starting a blog if time permits, but if you would like to write to me to discuss anything then please use the link here and I will always do my best to answer as quickly as possible.

Steve & Jan - my partners in this business - are due a walk now so I had better go.

Happy Crafting  and if you want to look at  all the new stuff click here

Love to all
