June-Uary Specials - Shining Sun Gardenworks Retailer News

The weather's
been rotten here on Vancouver Island this spring, rotten enough for somebody to have coined the term
'June-
uary". In a bid to heat things up a bit, we're offering a June-uary Special to all wholesale customers. For the rest of the
month, we're offering Free Shipping to all new accounts and Free Product equal to the shipping cost for
all existing
wholesale accounts. Save big in June.

New products this month include the very popular Aztec Sun in 24 inch, 18 inch and 12 inch sizes. Also a funky
Metal Art
Gecko in 2ft and 16 inch sizes . These items are powder-coated for exceptional rust resistance.

We're booking wholesale and retail shows for the fall and for Christmas. Watch for us in Edmonton and Vancouver and other dates tba.

Watch for our featured products on wholesalecrafts.com and a newsletter ad in greatrep.com.

More new products on the website including this lovely 3 foot quarter-moon welcome sign, created as a custom order for a lady in New York. I've updated the website to include it as a regular, made-to-order item.

More stores you can find our products at include the Zig Zag Gallery in Dayton Ohio, Art For the Soul in Balboa California, Namaste Head to Toe in Sherwood Park Alberta and The Back Porch in Nashville, Indiana.

Still waiting for summer to arrive up here on the rainy west coast. Maybe it's a good thing though, if it was sunnier I'd be spending more time on the beach and less time in the shop. Who would blame me, this is a photo of Rathtrevor Beach in Parksville where I live and work, photo courtesy Vingo.ca your guide to Vancouver Island Life.
