Last Chance For Duxbury Pier!
Cape Annie's In-Store Event Piece Will Sell Out Soon For June 27th Event

. . . . . . . .Pictured to the right for our final time is HL804, Duxbury Pier, MA lighthouse, Duxbury Pier Light, MA by Harbour Lights this year's Harbour Lights In-Store Event piece. We expect it to sell out very soon, possibly even before our June 27th event date. There are only 14 dealers nationwide that are allowed to sell this very limited edition of ONLY 550 pieces! Since each dealer has already been allotted a certain amount, the piece is virtually SOLD OUT! As we are writing this newsletter, our Duxbury Pier pieces are being "pre-signed" by Bill Younger, and then being shipped back to us. Even though Bill can't be with us, all of you will receive a "signed" piece! We have just received our "package of prizes" from Harbour Lights for our event raffle. Even though we do not have a GOLD piece, there are 2 Artist Proofs, plus 6 other great prizes. In addition to these, Cape Annie's is donating 10 more prizes from its own inventory! With a "suggested retail" value of OVER $1300, our 18 raffle prizes are guaranteed to be more than DOUBLE the value of the prizes of any of the five "Bill Younger Signing Events," including Lighthouse Depot! Pictured below, you will see our two "AP" prizes, a "single-digit" and several "2-digit" prizes. Many of you already have more than a dozen raffle entries, as we always includes Harbour Lights purchases made from January 1st through the signing event date. . . . As usual there will be the thumbnail of Duxbury Pier included with each Event Piece, PLUS, there is an additonal BONUS gift in 2009! . . . . For those of you who are awaiting the June announcement of the 2009 Summer Releases, we are also awarding raffle entries (mentioned below) for purchasing/pre-ordering any of these "announced" pieces. Pictured below are all 18 raffle prizes, plus a guide for maximizing your raffle chances.

2009 SUMMER RELEASES JUST ANNOUNCED!
SEE THEM NOW!
We are the FIRST HL dealer to have them pictured!




If you haven't checked our web site lately, you may not know that Harbour Lights has "Suspended Production" of 54 of the 82 pieces that make up the "Great Lighthouses of the World" collection. Once the Harbour Lights warehouse runs out of each of these "Open Editions," they may never be available again, so you may want to check out the Great Lighthouses page. If you were thinking about adding any of these to your collection, we recommend doing it soon!


PLEASE NOTE: Adapters for lighted pieces will no longer be included in the price of the piece. They will be $5 extra, and must be ordered in addition to the cost of the piece.

. . . . . . . . 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!



SPOONTIQUES - 50% OFF - LAST CHANCE!


. . . . . . . .As mentioned in last month's newsletter, we have offered all remaining Spoontiques lighthouses at 50% OFF on our web site. We do not have any of these lighthouses in stock at Cape Annie's, but we are accepting customer orders online. When we receive enough customer orders to bring in a shipment from Spoontiques, we will then fill the customer orders and ship them out. Many of you who did place orders in April and early May have just received their lighthouses from our first Spoontiques shipment. We already have a few more orders received, working towards our second Spoontiques shipment. As you will see noted on the Spoontiques Pages of our web site, we can only bring in a shipment from Spoontiques as we get enough customer orders to satisfy their minimum shipment requirements. If customer orders do come in a much slower pace, this next shipment from Spoontiques may be our final one, so don't miss out if you are a Spoontiques collector!


UPDATE - MOVIE BEING FILMED AT CAPE LIGHTHOUSE


. . . . . . . .Last week, Richard Dreyfuss and Bruce Dern were spotted on Cape Cod, filming scenes at the West Barnstable General Store, for their upcoming movie, "The Lightkeepers." This is a great old-fashioned general store, and was also used 3 years ago in the filming of the movie "Chatham," starring David Carradine. If you would like to keep updated on the progress of this movie, you can periodically check the Lightkeepers Movie web site.

$6.95 SHIPPING SPECIAL - FREE OVER $100!


. . . . . . . .We'll just keep reminding you each month that we are continuing our great shipping specials. ALL orders over $100 will receive FREE shipping, and any order under $100 will be charged ONLY $6.95 for shipping. This offer will last until further notice (when things improve for all of us!!). Occasionally there will be shipping offers that are even better (usually noted towards the bottom of the newsletter!)

. . . . . . . .If you are new to Cape Annie's this year, we've listed our shipping tables below, just to show how much you are saving from last year's shipping charges. In June 2008, we had just raised our shipping charges to cover the skyrocketing UPS rates, due to the $4.25/gallon we were all paying at the pumps a year ago. When the entire economy hit the skids last September, we felt it was more important to give the customer a break, even though it meant we could not cover our own shipping expenses with these rates. We have kept the low rates and free shipping offers for 9 months now, and will continue to do so until things improve for everyone. When things are better, we will have to revert our shipping table back to rates that allow us to cover our shipping costs. For now, though, enjoy the BARGAIN PRICES!

A Quick Note from Jim, Ann and Andy Baby


As you all know, the current economy has been very tough on retailers, especially the small businesses. Ann and Jim have both taken on additional part-time jobs and this may have a slight effect on both our Cape Cod store and our web site. Since Andy is not quite old enough to run the store by himself (he just turned three in May), there may be occasions when we are not able to open the store at 10:00 AM (we recommend calling ahead if you need to shop early). For our online business, e-mails and orders may be processed "next day" instead of "same day" as we have always tried to do. Customer service will still be better and faster than with most retail/online businesses, but we do apologize (ahead of time) if any of you are inconvenienced, and as always, we thank you for your business.

P.S. - In the previous two summers, our Cape Cod store had been open till 9:00 PM every night, in late June, July and August. If you are heading to the Cape this summer, please call ahead as we will be closing between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM daily. Beginning later this month, there will be one night, THURSDAY NIGHTS ONLY (through August 27th), that we will stay open till 9:00 PM for the summer months.





Assistant Keeper Andy

Three years old
and moving on! . . . .
. . . which you would see if Dad would ever part
with this old picture!

SEE YOU IN JULY!
