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,
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.

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.
"KAY DEE LINENS"
. . . . . . . .Last month, we previewed some of the new nautical
designs that would be arriving from KayDee Linens. They have now arrived and are pictured
below. We've even made it easier to shop online by grouping the items by "design" name.
Time to spruce up that kitchen!

$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.
Three years old and moving on! . . . .
. . . which you would see if Dad would ever part with this old picture!
SEE YOU IN JULY!
