Thankful

We are thankful for all of you who choose to shop with local independent stores like us! We try to have a great selection of quality unique merchandise, plus the added bonus of friendly employees who really do want to help you.

Did you know that for every $100 you spend in a locally owned store, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures? If you spend that in a chain, only $43 comes back. Spend it online, and nothing comes home. By choosing to spend your money at The Red Bee over those other "chains," you are supporting:

• local teams, churches, and charities who benefit from our sponsorships
• the Irvine Valley College emeritus and senior program for which we provide free classroom space
• local independent teachers who bring ideas to you through innovative classes
• our Bees who bring you smiles and ideas.

We are thankful for:

• working on our fifth year in business
• our amazing staff and talented teachers
• and most importantly, YOU our loyal customers who shop and visit each week to bead, knit, scrapbook, and decorate your homes.

We're here for you every Friday 'til midnight as your place to enjoy friends and creativity. We can't wait to see you this weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving,

Randy & Karen
