The BIG Move: Online Customer Appreciation Raffle

We are so excited about this Saturday's Customer Appreciation Party at our lovely new location at 459 Broome Street in Manhattan, but since we know a lot of you won't be able to make it we wanted to bring the party to you! Unfortunately we can't deliver refreshments or our great teachers to your house so we decided to offer a fun raffle especially for our online customers!

From today until Monday April 26th you can enter our Online Customer Appreciation Raffle by taking a quick survey here. We are offering four equally exciting prizes:

One lucky winner will receive Jade Sapphire's Manly Scarf Kit in White Knight. This kit is amazing! It comes with instructions and all the luxurious cashmere you'll need to make your choice of any of the stunning scarves pictured above. This beautiful display of scarves hangs behind our cash registers at the new store and people are constantly asking about it.

Another winner will receive the Charlie Harper Needlepoint canvas entitled Gregarious Grosbeaks along with all the yarn needed to complete it! This sweet canvas is a favorite at the store. It's a nice size for a beginner needlepointer and the colors are both cheery and sophisticated.

Another winner will receive a beautiful Liberty of London Tana Lawn fat quarter bundle (five of them are pictures above). This is ten 26-inch by 18-inch pieces of some of the most beautiful fabric in the world. It's enough for a quilt top or several smaller projects. Even if you have never sewn this is a fantastic prize- it's just so beautiful to look at!

And finally, our last lucky winner will receive four luminous Wool Felt Bundles, one each in Rainbow, Spring Greens, Earth, and Spice. Wool felt is one of the most useful and fun crafting supplies around. You don't need to hem it and it comes in spectacular colors!

To enter to win one of these four great prizes please fill out a quick survey here. There is a space to mention which prize you would prefer but please keep in mind that you will be entering to win any of the four and not one specifically.

Thank you so much for all of your support durring our BIG Move, and good luck in the raffle!

I clicked "no" for the newsletter only because I check the blog regularly and assume all the new events are announced here... if not, sign me up! Thanks for the giveaway.

Thanks for the fabulous prizes. I enjoyed the free shipping last week, too. Your new home looks as wonderful as the last two. I treasure a brief visit 2 years ago and have followed Purl Bee for months.

How kind to include your online followers in a raffle! All of the prizes look fabulous! I don't knit, but I know my Mom would love to knit the scarf. As for me, quilting is my thing so that liberty of london stack would be SO fabulous!

Your shop looks so charming!

Have a good end.

I wish, I wish there was a Purl in the UK. I always look to the blog for my next project but sometimes sourcing the materials is a challenge. Do you ship abroad?
Thank you for all the prettiest ideas and congratulations on the move to the new shop it looks amazing!! One day I do hope to visit in person:-)

I have to convince my hubby to make a vacation in NY. He can go to the Apple store and I will come to you. Or if you have a nice chair for him to wait, maybe he would come along. I wish NY was a little closer to Germany!
Thursday, April 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKatrin
I was lucky enough to visit your two old stores 18 months ago or so, one of my NY visit highlights! Really :) Thanks for letting those of us not lucky to live in NY the chance at the lovely prizes. I just about pulled something trying decide between the Liberty and the felt - I'm still not convinced I went with the right thing!

What? A Gregarious Grosbeak bemused at losing his hat! Best wishes, Purl Bee, at your new location. Your ideas and projects are very much appreciated and my young granddaughters and I have no trouble following them. Good luck everyone!

i'm pretty sure April 25th is Sunday.

Thank you for giving online readers/customers the opportunity to participate! I've just done the survey, and am hoping for the needlepoint kit. Several times I've wanted to order, but can't make the $$$numbers work. Any one would be wonderful, though; just learning to knit (and may need to get up to sock lessons soon for those cutie fishnet socks above), but already sew and do embroidery of various kinds.
And thanks for the chance to check "already get the newsletter." Rare to see that choice offered. Congrats on your move and your lovely prizes, to whoever wins.

Generous giveaway. I especially love the fabrics.
