I’m sad to announce Bee & Thistle will soon be closing its doors for good.  Owner Sherrye Perry was offered, and has accepted, a position as Director of Development with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and we all know it’s impossible to be in two places at once.  Everything in the store is now on sale, including several store display fixtures, and Sherry hopes to have it all liquidated by the end of February.  Bee & Thistle is located at 55 North Main Street. Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Just a note:  If you’re interested in putting a face to MyWeaverville.com, I’ll be helping out at Bee & Thistle throughout February, so stop by and say hello (and stock up on some soaps, lotions, or chocolate truffles while you’re there).

The Tick Tock Sale starts Saturday, December 15 at Curtis Wright Outfitters.  Don’t know what a Tick Tock Sale is?  They’ve explained it like this:

TICK TOCK SALE
15% off starting on December 15th
TICK 1% more daily until TOCK off in January

In other words, on December 16 the percentage off is 16%, on December 17, it’s 17%, etc.  So the longer you wait, the larger the percentage you receive off the items you buy.  BUT, the longer you wait also means there’s a larger chance the items you want to buy might not be available anymore.   

The sale is good on EVERYTHING in their store, including clothing brands Woolrich, Columbia, Life is Good, Royal Robbins, Horny Toad, and Smartwool, as well as all their fly fishing and spin fishing lines.

So good luck in getting what you what for the price you want!  Curtis Wright Outfitters is located at 24 North Main Street.
