Newsletter ~ February 2009

Happy Valentine’s Day Something to Celebrate!    I know that many of you have had a long hard winter, so I thought it might be nice if we had something to celebrate together. This week my grandma will be celebrating her 91st birthday. So in honor of Grandma, I will be taking 10-20% off almost everything on the website (excludes  gift certificates).   When?   Thursday, February 5 – Saturday February 7       We hope you have a sweet month filled with candy hearts, pretty flowers and keep-sake cards! Moms in Business Contest   A good friend shared this contest with me and encouraged me to join in on the fun.  If you are a Mom and a business owner with a website, you might like to check it out too.    Even if you don’t own a business or a website, it is a really neat way to see some of the different businesses that ladies from across the country have started.  And who knows–maybe you’ll find some products and services that interest you.   Would you also please vote for our friend, Lanae, from Old World Limited.  She is a super Mom with a growing business! We have some new Vera Petal Pink items and Longaberger baskets lined up for February, please stop by to check them out.    Sincerely,   Porch Swing Memories, LLC

The 16th Bentley to be the Last

Dear friends and fellow Longaberger collectors,

Wednesday night J. Phillip, Inc., publishers of the Bentley Guide for Longaberger Collectors, sent out an email newsletter informing subscribers that they will no longer be doing a print version of the guide.  While we will miss getting new print editions of the guide, we would encourage collectors that have not signed up for Bentley’s online service to consider doing so.  We still feel that the guide is an invaluable tool for collectors, and according to the email, J. Phillip will continue online services and updates.

If you haven’t ordered the printed version and would like to have one, now would be a great time to order.  The 2008 / 2009 guide is being offered for $17.95 plus shipping directly from the publisher, while supplies last.

Thank you to the crew  at J. Phillip for printing a great guide for 16 years!
