Year of the Customer Scavenger Hunt!

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010 Posted in General News, On Sale | 1 Comment »

Use the code ‘flowers’ for 10% off!

The beautiful weather is upon us! Green is everywhere and it is glorious. Especially here in the Northern Climes where we have to take advantage of every moment. So. How to juggle the gardening impulse and the hand-crafting impulse? Our growing season here in Maine is so short that it really isn’t much of a contest. I think most of the time the lure of the sun and the garden win out, definitely making June the ‘Garden Month’.

In keeping with this theme and to help you bring the Garden indoors to mingle with your hand-crafting (and so you don’t forget about us!), we are having a Garden Month Scavenger Hunt. Get your search skills on and dig through the Halcyon Yarn web site… Through June 30th, anything you find with the word “Garden”, “Flower” or “Botanica”/”Botanicals” in the name and/or title, you can have for 10% off!

Use the code ‘flowers’ during check-out for your discount. Get to it – Happy Digging!
