NEW YEAR-NEW STORE!

Happy New Year to all our Jewish Friends! May you and your family have health, happiness and good fortune in the year ahead. While folks were nibbling kugel, latkes and wonderful delicacies, we were in the store bringing in lots of new goodies for you in Boca.



Going on right now is our fantastic debut of glitzy sequined and beaded Art Yarns. You can see a sampling of it on our GBOY Home Page. While it's extravagant, many of the gorgous sweaters and shawls made with these hand-paints use only 2 to 3 skeins, making it an affordable indulgence. All Art Yarns will be on sale 20% off through mid-October.



Also, we're gotten so many requests for washable baby yarn in Boca. So, your wish is our command! Check out the new RT MicroWash and re-vamped baby department. We've stocked the store with a rainbow of colors and great project ideas!
