Monday, October 18th we will have a FREE kettlebell demonstration and sign up for a 12 week class. Learn how kettlebells can help you tone and achieve all around fitness.
Plan to attend the free session, Monday, October 18th at 5:30 p.m. at the TaeKwon do dojang (above the Corner Shoppe) at 107 1/2 Main Street, Garnavillo.

Fifteen ladies enjoyed an English afternoon
tea, with traditional tea sandwiches, scones and a variety of desserts.

I'm not sure when the next "tea" will be, but you can schedule your own private tea with friends or have a tea party for little girls. Each party is complete with real tea cups, dainty sandwiches and desserts.

All you need to do is let me know!

October will be a busy month at the Corner Shoppe. We hope you will be able to attend some of the events we have planned.

Wednesday, October 13 we will be open from 10-noon for folks to come in and relax while they work on hand work (knitting/crocheting) projects.

October 15th and 16th will be the first Country Theme and we will offer an English "Afternoon Tea" from 1:00 to 4:00 each day. Enjoy tea, sandwiches, warm scones, and a selection of cakes. Reservations are preferred. Cost is $4.50 per person.

October 23rd from 9:00 to 11:00, Karen, owner of Stagecoach Yarns (near Manchester) will be at the shoppe to answer your questions about knitting and crocheting, and will have a selection of yarns for you to look at, sample and even practice on. Of course, you will be able to place orders of you wish. (This is a free event)

New fall items, as well as some Christmas items have arrived at the shoppe.

We also do brunches and luncheons, (with advance reservations) for groups from one to about 15 or so.

We serve lattes, hot chocolate, blended ice coffee, and smoothies!! ( as well as coffee and tea). Plus we have punch cards, buy 10 beverages (of the same kind) and get the 11th one free.

And, we have gift certificates for what ever amount suits you.

New things are 'brewing' at the Corner Shoppe & Coffee House!

New flavors of blended iced coffees have arrived:

Dulce de Leche, Pralines 'n cream, Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint. Plus, we have ideas for latte''s and other special coffee drinks as well!!!!

We plan to have one weekend (each month or every other month) to feature a "day in a country". Our first featured country will be England, and we will offer an "afternoon tea" .
(more about that later).

Another feature will be a visit from the owner of a yarn shop. She will display various yarns and give customers an opportunity to use their knitting and crocheting skills on the variety of yarn samples. And of course all yarns (and other products) will be available for purchase.

We hope you like the new ideas, and we welcome your comments and suggestions.

We have been busy at the Corner Shoppe & Coffee House. We added 3 new display shelves which allows us a lot more room to display the merchandise, and add more merchandise. Stop in and see what you think.



We have also started a punch card for your favorite beverages; buy 10 and get one free. You choose your favorite beverage, and as long as you can keep track of the cards, you can have as many different beverage cards as you like!

Friday, August 27 was a special day, as our aunt and uncle (Jim & Maxine Gray) enjoyed lunch at the shoppe with family celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary!

Congratulations Jim and Maxine

Another special group visited the shoppe on Friday! We have 13 Red Hat Ladies stop in for desserts! (Thanks to Gertrude Brase and Sharon Keehner for inviting them.)
