(regularly $9.95 - $10.95),
while ANY order $99 and up will receive FREE SHIPPING (regularly $11.95 - $17.95).
This offer will continue through the holiday season and possibly into next year. No need to wait for
"Random Thursday" anymore! If gas prices stay down, we're hoping UPS will drop their shipping rates
for us, and we can lower our regular shipping rates on smaller purchases. . . . . . The 2008 Harbour Lights Christmas Piece (pictured),
featuring Perkins Island Lighthouse in Maine and representing the 2nd in the series of three
"Flying Santa" Christmas pieces, is available for $99, AND, you get our FREE SHIPPING offer! The
annual Christmas piece from Harbour Lights is always their best-selling piece of the year, and
this year will be no exception, especially if you want to collect all 3 pieces in the series. If
you missed piece #1 (2007 Christmas), we still have a few available for you to order. . . . .
Congratulations to Sandra Jennings of Kent, CT who won our October 12th drawing for the GOLD
Loon Island, NH piece, and also to all of the other winners of great Harbour Lights pieces, in
our Harbour Lights Customer Appreciation Event. . . . . . . As we mentioned in our last
newsletter, merchandise is running low on many of our popular items. Great gift ideas like our
North Country Wind Bells, nautical men's belts, sterling silver and sea glass earrings, and
stuffed animal turtles will be out-of-stock soon. Many of these items will not be restocked
until late spring of 2009, so don't be a last-minute shopper! PLEASE be sure to check your
e-mail for 48 hours after ordering, since an item you ordered may have just been sold out to the
previous customer. We want to be sure you have a chance to make an alternate selection.

. . . . . . . . If you would like to be kept informed of the NEW releases from Harbour Lights, and know them as soon as we do, just send us a quick e-mail stating "I want to receive the Harbour Lights e-mails." As always, there would NEVER be any pressure (phone calls, e-mails, etc.) to purchase any of the pieces from us. We're just happy to keep you informed!
. . . . . . . .Red Farm Studios and their incredible selection of boxed Christmas and Holiday cards have become another casualty of the economy. We received a notice from them that they will shutting down at the end of this year. Many of you have ordered our Red Farm selections for years, so this will be your last chance to see them. Even if you have already ordered your cards for this year, you may want to check out the remaining Red Farm designs and plan ahead for 2009, 2010 . . . .
. . . . . . . .As we mentioned in the September newsletter, you will see a NEW button entitled "ONE AND DONE" on our online store site. It has been created to offer you, the online customer, some of the great products that our Cape Cod customers get to see in our physical store. By this time of the year, we are usually left with a very random assortment of items (one of this, two of that, etc.) After Columbus Day, we started adding these items to the "ONE AND DONE" page, giving our frequent visitors a chance to purchase items that you would never see otherwise. Most of these items are discounted 20%, and when a customer purchases it, that's it! ONE AND DONE! It is deleted from the page, and gone for the remainder of 2008. These items are different from the ones that appear on "SALE TABLE" page. "ONE AND DONE" items may be back again in 2009. "SALE TABLE" items are discontinued items that will not appear in our store after they have sold out. Look for "ONE AND DONE" items to be continuously added into the spring of 2009!
. . . . . . . .The largest selection of lighthouse and nautical Christmas cards on the interent is rapidly selling out. This year, we started with over 140 designs, including a few choice "non-nautical" designs. Many of these designs sold out in October and November, and others have only a few boxes remaining. PLEASE NOTE, orders placed on December 1st or later (NEW POLICY) CANNOT be returned for credit or exchange. Unauthorized returns after December 1st will NOT receive credit, but will have to pay shipping charges to have the cards sent back to them.

but can be ordered now in the Christmas section of our store site. |
. . . . . . . .If you're a last minute shopper, we will again post our UPS delivery schedule on December 15th, on the front page of our online store site. If you place an order by 2 PM on December 17th for an in-stock item(s), it will arrive at its destination by Christmas Eve, with UPS GROUND SHIPPING. Every day after that, we will update the list of continental U.S. states that can still use GROUND SHIPPING, and receive their shipment on time. If your state is removed from the list, then you need to upgrade to 3-DAY AIR, 2-DAY AIR, or NEXT DAY SHIPPING. . . . . . In our last newsletter, we had warned that the rapidly increasing gas prices were forcing some of our wholesalers to hit us mid-year price increases, and even higher prices for our 2009 orders. The lower gas prices are nice for all of us, but might be too late to lower their production costs for the 2009 products. As usual, we'll be heading to the Atlanta Gift Show in mid-Januaary, to see what new products we can add to our Cape Cod and online stores. . . . . If you are receiving our newsletter e-mails, you will be getting one in a few weeks for our 8th Annual After-Christmas Sale. It features 20% OFF STOREWIDE (some exceptions) and 30% OFF Holiday items (many of you stock up on Christmas cards for next year). . . . . . Here's hoping for a better economy in 2009! . . . . .
