Tomorrow is the one-day "Handmade in America" Professional Craft Show at the Upper Township Community Center at 1790 Route 50 in Tuckahoe (08270 for GPS). The show supports the Scholarship Funds administered by the Greater Tuckahoe Area Merchants' Association, Inc. (look for Tuckahoe NJ on Facebook, or www.TuckahoeNJ.com).  We have over 20 wonderful Crafters, plus some non-profit groups, a 50/50, a Vacuum Cleaner Raffle (partially donated by D-B Sew Vac!), a Kids' Corner with quick, easy little crafts, food, music and fun for all!  Don't miss it!  Admission is FREE!!

The Quilt shown here will be available for purchase in Merry May's "Schoolhouse Enterprises" booth at the Show.  It was 100% made by Merry ("Merry May'd It!"), and is done with Civil War reproduction fabrics.  
Don't worry - she'll have other, more affordable items as well! (And she DOES take credit cards!)

Space is limited, so don't delay!

If you are into the "Made in America" movement, there is a special Handmade in America Professional Craft Show that will be on Saturday, November 22 from 9 am to 3:30 pm at the Upper Township Community Center, 1790 Route 50, Tuckahoe, NJ 08270. It features both veteran and emerging crafters from the tri-county region of Cape May, Atlantic and Cumberland Counties who were all hand-picked for this show. Proceeds benefit the Scholarship Funds of the Greater Tuckahoe Area Merchants' Association. Since 1998 this small group has awarded over $150,000 to local students. As part of the show, there will be a Riccar RSL-4 USA Model Vacuum Cleaner that will be raffled off. It features a custom red, white and blue paint job. And yes, it is made in the USA! It was partially donated by us, and we also have tickets available ($1 each) in case you are unable to make it to the craft show. Suggested Retail price of the vacuum is $569. Wouldn't THAT look nice under your Christmas Tree??? It comes with a nice, big, red bow, too! One of the crafters (and also the show coordinator) is our very own Merry May who will have Quilts, Button Jewelry, Fabric Gifts, and Other Fun Stuff! There will be a Kids' Corner where the kids can keep busy with small crafts as the grown-ups do a little shopping. Food will be available, and there will be music to keep everyone in the Holiday mood. Don't miss it, and Thank You for your Support of this worthy cause!


Our Thanksgiving Hours are:  Closed on Thursday and (Black) Friday, but we will be OPEN on Small Business Saturday!  John, Tommy & Christina will all be out of town visiting family, so Merry and Carlos will be on deck for Small Business Saturday.  Stop by and do some shopping, and they just might give you some Real Bargains on Vacuum Cleaners and Sewing Machines.

As always, we appreciate your support, your friendship and especially your business.  Please let us know how we can be of service to you.  We are all very Thankful for YOU.

Have a Blessed, Peaceful and Happy Thanksgiving.

John, Christina, Merry, Tommy, Carlos & Miss Ronnie
