March Madness

Good Morning Everyone,

We just wanted to direct your attention to our March featured shop:
"March Features Charmed Victorian"

Brought to you by Linda of Charmed Victorian, you will see delightful new designs for spring and summer!

Also, the magazine is going full steam ahead with a new scavenger hunt bringing lots of lookers which has resulted in many more hits to the Heart Shoppe:
"Lulu Mae's Monogram Hunt"

Take a peek, it's fun. Advertisers will not be allowed to participate in the contest.

Have a great month!
Vic

Happy February

Good Morning All, We feel like January was the start of something very big for the Heart Shoppe this year. We thank all of you for your support on your sites, blogs, facebook and twitter accounts. We mailed our first Victorian Etc. newsletter and have received a great response already.

We would like to welcome a new merchant to our group. Please pay a visit to Sheila, of "Faded... but Desired Treasures" on Second Ave:
Second Ave.
You will love the look of Sheila's retro shop and some of the treasures featured therein. Sheila and I have a special bond, we both own Bloodhounds so that kind of makes us bloodsisters : )

We have a very beautiful 'featured page' for February brought to us by Nancy of "Coeur d'Alene Gifts". Please pay Nancy a visit at some time this month, you'll be glad you did:

We want to thank Bertie of "Aunt May's Cottage" who jumped on the bandwagon and promoted our sister site, Victorian Etc. on her blog:
Aunt May's Cottage

We expect hearts and flowers this month and lots of new targeted traffic and sales beyond belief.

Have an exceptional month,
Vic & Jeff

We wish you all a blessed and safe new year. We cannot express what your friendship, support, and encouragement have done for us over the past year. So many of you have had personal challenges above and beyond what could and should be born, and yet you remain positive and optimistic. This group is a blessing without compare : ) Stay tuned tomorrow for a big announcement as we attempt to pay some of it back, tee hee!

Love,
Vic & Jeff

Good Morning All, We are now recruiting for participants in the New Year's 2010 Contest. The entry fee is only $25 of which $10 goes toward the Grand Prize gift voucher. The Contest will run January through April. (The current contest winner will be drawn Christmas Day. They then have 48 hours to choose from the participating shops, where they would like to spend their voucher. We PayPal the voucher amount to the shop chosen by the winner.) We rotate the shops to the top of the page and the redirect from the contest entry form goes to each one in turn. See $100 Contest for an example. We will be working on the new contest over the next two weeks and would like to get started ASAP. If you would like to participate or have any questions, please respond to this e-mail. Although we limit the participants to ten, we seldom get that many : ) We make up any remainder of the $100 prize with a gift provided by us. The $25 will by due by December 31st. Thanks!

We look forward to hearing from some of you,
Vic & Jeff

Good Morning Everyone, I hope you have all recovered from giving thanks with great food : ) God is good!

May you all be blessed with His saving grace!

Thanks,
