October Newsletter

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT – HOW TO VIEW FUTURE NEWSLETTERS

Too many emails? We know the problem. Here is our solution!

Daily, I delete more emails than I read, and I am sure you have the same time-consuming chore. As a result, TLC Vintage Collection is continuing its newsletter as a feature on our blog at www.tlcvintagecollection.com. Please save this connection to your “favorites” in your internet browser and check in with us once in a while.

OR, you can stay connected by liking and following our business Facebook page, TLC Vintage Collection https://www.facebook.com/tlcvintagecollection/ . Whenever we run a newsletter or blog, we post a link to our Facebook page. This will simplify your ability to follow us for store updates, sales, specials and demos of great products – not to mention great photos of painting projects. So remember, we are freeing up your email a bit. But we want to stay connected – so “Like” our Facebook page!

Hush, It’s a Secret – New Annie Sloan Product in October!

It’s all “hush, hush” but we will be unveiling a new Annie Sloan product in the second half of October. Watch TLC Vintage Collection Facebook page for the exact release date. The product is inspired by a trip Annie made to Ethiopia earlier this year. Annie is dedicating a portion of sale proceeds from this new product to Oxfam an international charitable organization dedicated to ending poverty.

October Sidewalk Haggle-Free Sale!

During spring, summer and fall TLC Vintage puts outdoor displays in front of the store. But everything has to come inside or to storage during our cold months. Help us clear the sidewalk so we don’t have to store anything this year! As of today, everything on the sidewalk is set at our acquisition price! So come find some bargains!
