Camelot Treasures June 2008 Newsletter Supplemental

Jun 24, 2008 11:07

We're sorry for the extra post this month, but we wanted to let everyone know about our summer clearance sale and drop a few reminders.

BIG SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE
We've marked down several tables full of Garden Decor, Baby, Princess, and Home Decor items from 30-75% off the original price. This includes candle holders, gargoyle statues, piggy banks, tree-faces, baby blankies, picture frames, and more. Plus all our hoodies and long-sleeve t-shirts are still 20% off. We need to move these items out of the store to make room for Halloween costumes, new toys, and new clothing lines.

COSTUMING BY KELLY FARROW
One of the most exciting new lines you'll see in the coming months is clothing & costuming by Kelly Farrow. Originally from Raleigh, Kelly has worked in Australia for the last 10 years as a professional theatrical costumer. In addition to having ready-made items on the rack, she will be taking commissions for just about any costume work you can imagine - historical, fantasy, steampunk, sci-fi, etc. To set up an appointment to discuss your project with her, please drop us a line at the store (see the bottom of this post for contact info)

COSTUMED SKETCH NIGHT - June 25th (this Wednesday!), 7 - 9pm
This month's theme is Fairies! What happens when costumers and cosplayers get mixed in with art school? You get Costumed Sketch Night! If you're an artist, bring your drawing supplies and we'll supply costumed models. Cost is $3. Email Leah (Leah-AT-willrad-DOT-com) for more information.
