ClubHouse Chatter From the Purple Building...All Wrapped Up For You!

Simply go to www.clickondetroit.com and look for the "Vote 4 the Best" link on the left hand side of the homepage. We are under the "Shopping/ gift shop" category. Don't forget that once you have voted, you can add a comment that will be posted on our page. Thank you so very much for taking a few minutes to support us. We love it!

Our ClubHouse class schedule is complete. We have something for everyone this fall. On Thursday, September 13th at 7:00 p.m., Heidi from Liberty Street Gardens will demonstrate how to plant a fall container perfect for the outdoors. Just because the temperatures will be dropping doesn't mean your yard can't continue to look great. Please bring a container suitable for the outdoors and less than 12" in diameter. We will supply the rest. The cost for this class is $45.00.

The fundraiser for the Michigan Three Day Walk will be Friday, September 21st beginning at 6:30 p.m. This is an absolutely PERFECT way to spend an evening with the girls! Bring a group of girlfriends, daughters, sisters, moms... and join the fun. All of your $10.00 donation will help support our friend, Karen, as she walks 60 miles in three days. Her tremendous "feat" will help raise money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. There will be food, beverages, raffles, and in store specials. If you wear pink that night, you will receive a door prize. Come join us as we raise money for a wonderful cause.

We will end September with a wreath making class on Thursday, September 27th at 7:00 p.m. The cost for this class is $45.00 and includes a grapevine wreath, ribbon, silk and dried flowers, and other embellishments that will make your wreath a one-of-a-kind. You may want to bring an empty wine bottle and some corks for a more Tuscan flavored wreath. Please bring a glue gun if you have one.

We know you have "always wanted to learn how to knit" so on October 18th we are having a knitting class. This $25.00 class includes yarn, needles, knitting bag, and a fun hands-on experience. Jodi, our teacher, is excellent (and patient!). Think of the projects you could complete in time for holiday gift giving.

On Saturday, November 3rd at 10:00 a.m., paper, scissors, and glue will be flying! All the supplies will be here so that you can make your own holiday cards and gift tags. These precious and cheerful cards are guaranteed to make your holiday gift giving personalized and special. Our teacher, Jana, is unbelievably creative and you will walk away with several completed projects. The cost for this class is $25.00. As with all ClubHouse classes, please call us at 248-478-7220 to reserve your space or for more information.

As promised, our new additions to the UglyDoll family have arrived. Look how cute those Uglies are!

A quick reminder, our "Early Order Program" is in effect until September 30th. All of your corporate and personal holiday gift basket orders will receive a 10% discount if your order is placed by September 30th. We love to customize, ship, deliver, and therefore make your holiday gift giving E A S Y !
