Window Pane Classes are back @ VIP!
We are excited to be able to offer our very popular “Window Pane” class again with a new twist…salvaged windows! Jennifer Lee, from Salvaged Treasures (a furnishings/home décor boutique) was a speaker for the Fall 2008 Women’s Expo on Oct 18 and this years’ theme was GREEN (recycle/reuse)! We displayed some of our finished windows at the Salvaged Treasures booth during the Expo.
Our next window pane class ($15) will be on November 9 at 11am – class size is limited. Other class dates will be Nov 22 and Dec 7 (there will be another class in December if needed). If you are interested in this class, sign up at VIP; then stop by Salvaged Treasures and buy your window pane before class…there is a choice of 4, 6, 8, or 9 pane windows – prices will range from $24-$35! You can use the window panes as they are or re-finish them as you please.
Salvaged Treasures is open Nov 6-9; Nov 13-16; Nov 20-23; Nov 28-30 and Dec 4-7 (Thursdays – Saturdays 10am-6pm & Sundays 11am-4pm). If you need to contact them when the store is not open, please call 507-358-6059 or email them at salvagedtreasures@charter.net
Stop by VIP and check out our window panes on display!

Calling all card makers!
There's one week left to bring in your thank you cards to be included in Operation Hometown Gratitude's packages. They are sending packages to our SE MN soldiers who are stationed overseas.

A sincere thank you to all our VIP customers who participated for remembering our hometown heroes!
