Happy Holidays!
Friday, December 10th, 2010
Greetings!
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. The temperatures have dipped and we’re bundled up! The trees are trimmed and our fires are kindling! I can get a little romantic about Christmas so I’ll get to the point…
If you’re still at a loss as to what to you’ll give everyone or maybe you just need to break away for a bit, sign up for one of our classes - we have several small projects that will make perfect hand-made, heart-felt gifts.
Be sure to stop by the shop and fill out your Holiday Wish List. Don’t leave your loved ones guessing - let them know exactly what you’ve been wishing for!
And while you’re here, we hope you’ll participate in our annual Holiday philanthropy and enter to win some swanky prizes!

Holiday Giving
Every year we look forward to the holidays at Wooly Bully, our time for community outreach. Traditionally, our community outreach has involved "adopting" a family with special needs, however, this year we are faced with a unique situation with a dear friend in need. We’ve decided to focus our efforts this holiday season on raising funds on his behalf.
Charlie Cooper, a close friend of mine and long-time Tallahassee resident, was diagnosed this fall, shortly after his 27th birthday, with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. The cost of his treatment, in addition to his living expenses are staggering. It is our wish to aleviate whatever stress possible, in this case some of his financial obligations, so that he can focus on healing and fighting his cancer. We’re reaching out on his behalf because we know he’d do the same.  While in the past contributions have included in-kind donations, this year we will only be accepting monetary donations (unless, of course, you happen to have any full O2 tanks sitting around). Again, the funds we raise will be contributed directly to the Friends for Charlie Medical Assistance Fund and no donation is too small! This is a wonderful opportunity to see your donation IMMEDIATELY benefit someone in OUR community!
If you would like to include a card to Charlie and his family, we will happily pass that along. And while I’m asking for favors, I ask that you include Charlie and his family in your thoughts and prayers. I can’t wait to show Charlie and his family how generous and warm the patrons of Wooly Bully are!
How to donate:
1. drop by the shop, we’ll be collecting contributions there
2. Go visit friendsforcharlie.com to donate securely online and learn more about Charlie’s unique situation.
BUT IT GETS BETTER…
To sweeten the deal there will be prizes. For every $20 donated, your name will go in the prize jar once. For every $50 donated we’ll put your name in three times.
There will be two winners. One will receive…
A BRAND NEW SHINY SET OF ADDI LACE CLICKS
(ret. value $169)
The other winner will receive…
a $75 gift certificate to Wooly Bully
Winners will be announced at the end of business on Dec. 23rd!

Addi Lace Clicks are here!
You know you want ‘em and they’ve arrived just in time for the Holidays! We’ve been patiently waiting for our shipment for many months now and at last they’re here! Stop by the shop to try out a set!
The new Addi-Click Lace System provides 8 pairs of different sized Addi Lace needle tips, US 4 (3.5mm) through US 11 (8mm), five different lengths of extremely pliable blue cord, 16, 20, 24, 32 and 40 inch, and one connector piece to help store stitches or combine your cords. Like the standard Addi Click set, the Addi Click Lace tips require no tools to change; simply insert the cord deep into the tip, twist and release. The tips will remain secure until you change them.
The Lace Clicks have a level of flexibility not offered by other needle systems. By using either 1 cord or combining 2 cords with the connector, 15 different circular needle lengths can be created for total of 120 different needle and cord configurations! Purchasing 120 different sets of Addi Lace needles separately would cost $1,914! Wowza - that makes the $169 price tag pale in comparison.
We hope the holidays are treating you well! We wish you and your family the best in the new year!
Warm Regards,
Hannah Readdick
