Espace Tricot is Moving (Next Door!)
As many of you know, Emeline & Annabelle, the beautiful fabric store and sewing studio which has been our neighbour for the last 2 1/2 years, has decided to close its doors on October 28th, 2012. We will be so sorry to see E & A go and wish them all the very best in their future adventures ? whatever they may be. Emeline and Annabelle created an incredible community of fellow sewers/crafters who enthusiastically embraced their concept and who will surely miss the function and flair they brought to the neighbourhood. We’ll miss you guys!!
As many of you also know, we have more than outgrown our space and have been keeping our eyes open for alternatives for some time. We are very pleased now to announce that we will be moving across the landing into the Emeline & Annabelle space at 6050 Monkland and, after a brief closure, will have a grand re-opening on Saturday, November 3rd!
We?re thrilled that we’ll finally be able to provide some additional breathing room both for our customers and our increasing number of employees. Our new shop will be filled with all of the beautiful yarns, needles, notions, and accessories you have come to know and love plus some very exciting additions that will be arriving in the shop over the next few weeks. And best of all it will be nearly double the size of our current store!
We will be closed Tuesday, October 30th through Friday, November 2nd, inclusive. We look forward to welcoming you all back as of Saturday, November 3rd with celebratory treats and the opportunity to win a ?Grand Re-Opening Prize?. With every purchase over $30 (before taxes) made in-store on our opening day, your name will be entered in a draw to win a $250 Espace Tricot Gift Card!
Finally, we’d like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome Le Nid de la Cigogne to NDG! This unique baby and kid store specializes in natural, organic, and fair trade products including clothing, toys, diapers, baby carriers, etc. and will be opening their second location in our old space at 6054 Monkland.

WELL, Absent for a couple of months and wammo. Congratulations. I knew it would only be a matter of time. Great going girls. If I didn’t have my big bazaar at work to prepare for on the 8th, I’d be there helping pack and helping you to walk everything over for you.

Wow!! Fantastic news. Congratulations on your success. Glad to see you growing. You girls sure have what it takes to do well. Lots of fantastic yarns, excellent after purchase support and great personalities. The store always feels so welcoming and cozy and I’m sure the new one will be just as comfortable
Can’t wait to see it

I am so-o-o excited for you!!!!!! I cannot wait for you to be in the new shop! I would also like to offer you my moving services-I am very well referenced and will provide letters upon request!(I spent my day today helping Erica move to her new home and have been engaged by Robert to help him with his move in late November). References from non family members are also available.
I am very serious and earnest about my offer to help and do anything that you ask! I am available morning,afternoon and evening….all at the same rate.
Ciao for now.
Joan

Joan – you’re awesome! We’ll take you up on that – no reference letters necessary – we’ve seen and can vouch for your work 😉 You twist a mean skein and barcode like the wind! Hopefully we’ll touch base on the weekend…

I’m sooooo happy for you ladies (and for all of us knitters)! You deserve it well.
Can’t wait to see all the new fibers and cool stuff! I will sure make the time to come by to see you guys on your grand re-opening… it’s been way too long.
