Starting Tuesday January 24th @ 10a will be the beginning of the last week of clearing of the Scrapbooking and the Card Making supplies in the store. No customer points may be reimbursed nor any coupons can be redeemed during this time. If your order is $25 or more before tax and you pay cash to us, you will receive a FREE gift from Neil and I.

Saturday night - hockey night at our house, if you see any smoke rising - you know that Les Canadiens [the Habs] and the Maple Leafs [the Buds] are battling it out. My team is Les Habs Go Team Go and Neil's are the Buds.

Nite nite everyone see you next week.

Snowy Thursday

2012-01-19T12:38:00.000-05:00

Today started off just like any other Thursday, Grey skis - but about 1/2 hour ago we started to get some snow! This is what a Canadian Winter is, some snow on the ground to cover the yukky mud and grass [that is not growing].

These pictures were taken a few days ago - blue sky, little bit of snow in fields and dry road. They say we are to get a few centimeters today, lovely snow!

We just sent out a newsletter announcing more savings - this coupon on the newsletter will need to be turned in if you want to save more $$$. This clearance sale will come to a close on the 21st of January, when we will be packing up the extra and storing it for later use.

Upside down sale coming soon in Erin - sometime in February - we have not set a date yet and nearly all the stores are participating. Watch our website for more info.

Olde Tyme will also be hosting a Garage sale off site later in the spring, lots of stuff to buy. We are hoping to include a number of people with us that weekend! Our store will be closed for those two days, we have not chosen a date yet, but there will be alot of Great Savings in Country Crafts, Scrapbooking, Home Decor and alot more!

We will be having classes in Macrame, Paper Mache, folkArt One Stroke painting, Glass Etching and two special guests will be attending our store again to teach us Faux Finishing and also there will be a hands on Class. Cost of the Class will be determined soon. If any of you took our specialized classes in Brampton, you may have figured out who these people are.

Cold & Frosty!

2012-01-14T09:34:00.000-05:00

Hi down at the store today - frosty and c-o-l-d and the roads are bare. we'll be open till 4:30p today and closed on Sunday & Monday.

We have had many emails asking about spinners, paper racks and stamp pad racks. The time/date order that these emails came in will be the first ones we answer. We have been keeping an on going list of those asking about racks - you are still on the list.

Thanks, back to work.....

Update for weather

2012-01-13T16:31:00.000-05:00

About 1/2 hour ago, we started to get some flurries here in town, lots of traffic on the roads, which are slightly wet.

We will be back in tomorrow from 9:30a-4:30p - closed on Sunday Jan 15th & Monday Jan. 16th. Re-opening again on Tuesday @ our normal time of 10am.

I will check in tomorrow and let you know what our little town and some surrounding roads are like. We did not get the big dumping of snow that Toronto and East got today, we hear that there have been alot of accidents out there. Take Care.

No snow here

2012-01-13T11:23:00.002-05:00

Just checking in to tell you that there is no snow in Erin, we never got any of this wild weather this morning. It is Chilly but pleasant driving.

Quicker than I thought

2012-01-07T13:33:00.000-05:00

The sun is shinning, warmth is nice, get rid of some of the ice here in the backyard. The roads are dry and clear of snow and ice. Our website is back up and running, faster than I thought it could be done. New classes happening later this year, just wait and see what we have planned!

Warming up more!

2012-01-06T16:37:00.000-05:00

Saw the sun again today, ice is finally melting, and lots of new faces coming to our clearance [shut down] sale. Our website is being re-vamped so in the meantime, all info regarding the store will be published here.

Our hours of operation this weekend is back to normal. Sat 9:30a to 4:30p; and Sun 11a to 4p Don't forget that we are still clearing the store out @ 75% off nearly all of the scrapbooking and Card making supplies, including rubber stamps!

Off to home, see you in the morning.

-3C and getting warmer

2012-01-05T16:05:00.000-05:00

Good morning, grey skis but at least we are warming up! Snow still in the fields and at the side of the road. Roads are dry up here and the weatherman says we should be having more sunshine as the week continues and right into the weekend. Fingers crossed!

Phew we were saved, no burst pipes last night when we got home, though now Neil will have to open the wall where the pipes are, wrap them against the cold - you would not believe the spaghetti of pipes - copper & plastic in the basement! Which pipe goes where? Just guess we will have to plot them out by turning the taps on one at a time. [Living in a 140 year old farm house has all these unique quirks].

Our Koi and Gold Fish ponds have stood up to this cold weather this past week.

Saw many familiar faces yesterday on the first day of our 75% off closing sale. We have discovered that a number of you folks just scan the newsletters - look at the bottom of the letter, you will find our New address in Erin.

Charger on our phones went belly up on us yesterday, so that only way of communication I have with you is email till tomorrow morning - Jan 6th, sorry! You actually think that any rechargeable battery will work in the phones, Nope!

off I go, work to be done, talk to you tomorrow

2012-01-04T10:03:00.000-05:00

New Digs

2011-09-27T15:22:00.000-04:00

Not for the store, but for us and Sydney our dog! We have moved from Brampton last week to a wee town north of the store. While we were away we know that folks had trouble accessing the website or sending emails, we apologize for that problem, it was our server.

Fall has definitely arrived, the lovely leaves are falling - many have already turned color up near the new place, I hope Neil is ready for this, no more whipper snipper for the lawn - we are on 1/2 an acre and we have LOTS of grass! I guess the push mower will not work [much], maybe I will send him out in the morning and whistle for him for dinner!

Sydney loves the running around, and talk about Fresh Aire! Wow, we have all crashed by latest 10p every night since we moved. Now mind you, we do not have internet [sniff], telephone nor TV right now. We found out we might have to take Dial up [oh back to the dark ages]! Though we do not have much time for this, as we are still unpacking, and we will be with our family this Saturday and Sunday to celebrate Thanksgiving, because the 161st Erin Fall Fair is the 7th to 10th of October [our store will be open every day of the fair except for the Monday when we go to visit].

We are sad that Scrapalicious is gone, Good luck Lancia and to all of your staff! If you are ever up here in Erin, do stop in an visit.

We are only 30 minutes north on Hwy #10, west on #24 towards Guelph and when you come around the big bend, and down the hill - you arrive in Erin and all the quaint little shopping stores.

Thats all for now, time to get more designing done! 25 Christmas Cards in 5 classes happening Oct 12th onwards, check out our website for more information.

Must be off, pictures coming soon [showing the insides of the store], why not stop in and visit.

Don't forget about the Savings Coupons available on our site, they will have to be printed out.

Lovely snow

2010-12-16T09:46:00.000-05:00

Hi we are back on the blog, a few of you have emailed us and mentioned our 2 sites are down, thanks, we found out this morning. We are working on it. Both sites came back on line late Wednesday afternoon, except a few things are still missing off the site, we are working on it this morning.

We have had fun up at the new store, still going through boxes and looking for certain items, then only to discover they are still in Brampton.

Page Map Calendars are in - and now for sale.... pick yours up today for that special scrapbooker - great ideas inside.

As soon as the site gets up and running again, you will see that we have some coupons for the new store, and these will be printed differently each week until we have our Grand Opening on the 4-6th of February. Each one is dated, you will have to print it off in order to get your savings.

Sun is shining up here today - now that was yesterday - today a different story, weatherman thinks we are going to get about 5cm more. Which is ok with me.

Now anyone who knows me, when I was driving school bus in the Durham Region, I never drove a north route! Why? Because I was concerned about getting into trouble in the winter months - like sliding off the road, or getting stuck in a snow drift. But since we have had the store up here in Erin, I have found as long as you stay on the main drag, you have no problems at all. Some days it takes us a wee bit longer on the trip from Brampton. Most days approx. 33 minutes trip.

Erin is a quaint little town, and Olde Tyme is now a member of their BIA, and we hope to be able to spread far and wide to folks coming here to this lovely town.

We have discovered some very unique shops since we have been in town,
Weathervane - across the road from us;
What's Cooking - Kitchen Gadgets and homemade soups;
Holtom's Bakery [Neil's favorite Haunt] - yummy treats and Sticky buns [yummy];
Delights;
Country Corner [His-n-Her Hair shoppe]; and many more interesting places to visit when you are in Erin.

Olde Tyme has the calendar page started with classes on it for the new year. If you see something that is not there, please email me with suggestions.

Well off to set up more of the store, and thanks to everyone who has sent us well wishes/Christmas Cards this year.

Thank-you

Our 1st Day here!

2010-12-04T11:23:00.006-05:00

Good morning, sun is shining, - hey wait a minute - where went the sun? - hey maybe it might 'S-N-O-W!', our 'New' store is open and we having lots of fun.

We are located on the east side - the middle of town on Main Street of Erin. Classes soon to be posted on the web, for December and January. Grand Opening of Olde Tyme Country is in Feb. Guest teachers coming - to teach and to do demos.

Hi, just checking in to let you folks know, that the construction of our parking lot will be complete by tomorrow, and they have added 2 handicap parking spots in the lot, one is in the middle of the parking lot, and the other one is right outside the Elevator Main Entrance door. Thanks, David!

So how are we doing with the finding of the words?? do we need a hint. The previous email says we have '6' words. One of the words found in my website on the Scrapbooking page - under ScrapFest - there is an extra word sitting there, the sentence 'could' and may not sound right. Another hint will come out on Sunday Night.

25 Christmas Cards in 2 days - the class if filling up, we have room for 10 people only. $137.50 + HST [includes your supplies, lunch and snack on Saturday]. Please BYOB [Bring your own basics] - tool kit.

Good morning - Labour Day is here and talk about Labour.

Spring cleaning got stalled this year and today I am sitting here in my jammies - and I am not crafting! What a switch! We discovered some boxes in one of our rooms here at the house, and so we are cleaning out a room so I can have a craft room here and while doing this we came across many boxes of craft books, magazine and instructions. We don't want to toss them out - do you want them? All you have to do, is stop by and pick them up.

So if you are interested, please email us at the store.

Been a Few Weeks

2009-08-18T14:04:00.004-04:00

Hi, we are back.

Taste of the Danforth - has anyone been there? We went for the 1st time this year - on the Friday night - there was 30 of us - my family - sisters from Montreal, Cousins and their significant other from British Columbia, Manitoba & Ontario, Aunts and Uncles from right here in town and from Brockville and our doggies. What a blast, stand in line, pay for your food, stand in another line, get your food, and then tell me how you're to balance, holding onto a dog leach, pop in one hand and eats in the other [oops doggy leach on that hand]. Well we had fun.

Saturday we were treated to more good eats, this time - no stand in line - just with family. Thanks to Donna and Arthur for hosting dinner at their lovely condo, Heather for making great appetizers, and everyone else for being there.

Sorry we missed Sunday Brunch at Uncle Ian's and Aunt Carol's, but we heard everyone had a great time.

----------

Burnished Velvet has been a hit! Lots of folks trying this out. Intermediate - Advanced level this Saturday, if you are interested, please contact us by Thursday.

CreativFestival is coming in October 16 - 18th. Classes galore at our spot #122. Plus we are teaching at the Scrapbook Playground with Scrapbook and Cards.

Play Day At Olde Tyme - July 11, 09

2009-07-12T21:17:00.017-04:00

See what you missed at the Studio - Olde Tyme had a play day yesterday with no cost, that's right it was Free! - what a blast, check out some of the make n takes we had the folks making. Next play day - Aug 15th 10a-2p. When you make purchases of $30 on the play day - pull a chip out of the bag, you could save between 5% - 45% off your purchase.

Then we also had our monthly Products of the month, we showed the ladies how to color their paper with shaving cream & inkers. It is amazing - we even used folkArt One Stroke paints - it blended really nicely! Samples are at the store. We tried Distress Re-inkers - vibrant colors, alcohol inks, Brilliance re-inkers, and more.

The papers started out white, let them dry and then I stamped on the card using a Sunshine Design Stamp and then I colored the flowers in with Tombow markers.

Don't forget about Jewel Glitter Ritz - Class on July 19th 12noon - 2:30p.
