Happy weekend everyone!
It's nice to see so many of you popping in to the new A Muse Lounge. There are lots of fun things going on so be sure to pop on over to our website and get yourself registerd! (You don't have to register... but if you want to post messages you will need to.)
The A Muse Shop is getting back into full swing again after the holidays. Our Make & Takes are back and we will be doing FREE Make & Takes every Wednesday and Saturday between the hours of 11:30am and 1:30pm.
Today's make & take is the fun Triangle box that Greta introduced us to back in November. These boxes are easy and fun to make and can be filled with all sorts of little treats. C'mon by later today to make one and you will enjoy a 10% discount on your purchases during the hours of the make & take.

NEW 2-hour Parking
Look what was installed in front of the shop this week! Wahoo! Thanks to my dh for his efforts to make this happen.
New Window Display
Check out the fantastic NEW window display that Nina made for us. Isn't she amazing?!! These squirrels are based off the adorable little squirrel in this clear stamp set. I *love* how she added the bow to the "girl" squirrel. So sweet!
Sorry the photos are not so great... we have had some very grey days of late! In case you missed it, Western Washington has been hit hard with rain and snow melt over the past few days. There has been LOTS of flooding and major highways have been closed, impacting the transport of goods (and people). We are hoping the weather cooperates and does not delay a shipment of our Valentine images next week!
The weather has caused some heartache for my friends and family... our ski hill was devastated by a mudslide earlier in the week. It was not much of a hill but it is where we skied every weekend. If you google Hyak avalanche you will find lots of photos. Here is a video taken from one of our condo neighbors. And here is a cute video that shows Hailey and Annabelle skiing just 3 days *before* the mudslide (taken by the same neighbor).
I hope you have a GREAT weekend and if you are in the neighborhood tomorrow, please stop by the shop for our FREE Make & Take!
I can't wait to come visit the shop! I'll be there this Wednesday for Make & Take. I live across the water (olympic peninsula) and seem to never make it to your shop when I'm in the area, but luckily my hunny is in business meetings all day and I can do whatever I want! So Amuse is on my itinerary and I'll be there! Then blog about it the next day (of course). I really like the front window display too. Very Cute!
