Anniversary Sale!

Today marks 16 years since the day I first opened Norton’s Cove Studio for business.  A tiny figure compared to the 128th anniversary of the construction of the historic general store that houses my studio & shop, but significant to me never-the-less!

This picture was taken for the Beacon (if my memory serves me correctly) back in 2002, just before I was ready to open.  I was still setting up new equipment.

To thank you, my faithful customers, friends, neighbours, and family who have supported me through the years, I have a few treats for you here at the studio today:

• coffee
• tasty nibbles
• door prize: $25 gift card
• 50% off all cards, minis, bookmarks, and framed minis
• 25% off everything else in the shop
• door opens at 10am and closes at 6pm

Online customers get a different deal:

• 40% off all artwork by Janet Davis: use code Anniversary Sale
• Also use this code if you don’t require shipping: PICKUPINSTORE
• 6am to 10pm (Newfoundland time!)

Go ahead, make the most of both deals!

To all of you, whether you are a repeat customer with an entire Janet Davis art collection, you stopped in once on a travel trip and bought #justacard, or you love to eat at my restaurant, THANK YOU.  Every purchase counts towards a successful business that is employing several people and I think is doing good things in our tiny community here outport Newfoundland.  I hope this little business keeps growing!

Snaps from around the Shop Today…

In addition to printing cards, the other kind of paperwork, and thinking about other projects (which I’ll tell you about in another post), I’ve been tidying up around the shop and rearranging some displays.  Here’s how this c.1890 Kean’s General Store is looking today…

In the Studio Today…

 

Introducing Oscar!

A couple of weeks ago, our espresso machine quit on us. Just had enough, I guess. It was meant for home use, and it seems that we were a bit rough on it. Oopsie-daisies!

We were without espresso based drinks for a little while, and then…

Today, the lovely Courier driver brought us Oscar. Isn’t he shiny? We’re learning to make him perform some Fancy coffee tricks, and finding that he does things a little differently than the previous model. The coffee is hotter, the steam is steamier, and he’s a flashy guy- did I mention the overall shine?

Please have a little patience with us while we get ourselves used to Oscar, and I’m sure we’ll be making even better lattes and cappuccinos in no time!

Oopsy Daisies!
Our espresso maker has failed us- we have a new model on order, but until it arrives, we are unable to serve any of our espresso based drinks- all else is available as always.  Our apologies for any disappointment!
