Past Present Future (Part I)


A three part post that I've been meaning to write for weeks. The first installment...

Past: On Friday, June 10th, we were part of the Etsy Worldwide Craft Party. We had the best time with 50 of our new best friends! I can't believe what a killer turnout there was. I swear I thought a dozen people would show up. We still got enough pizza for 30 because I was raised to always have more than enough food. (A big thanks to Flatbread Pizza for donating the tastiness!)




<PREVIEWEND> It was a fundraiser as well and we raised another $440 for the Red Cross!

Thanks to Made in Lowell, To Boldly Fold, Stray Notions and The Merriweather Council for spreading the word! And for coming and crafting!

Lots and lots of birds... many of them still hanging on the clothes line in our front window.

And because we loved having so many people making in the shop we've decided to throw another craft party! Friday, July 22nd, we'll have snacks and patterns and supplies for you to use. Didn't get to make a bird? How about a felt strawberry? Or whatever else your heart desires because we're not going to keep you from making! $5 a person, register on-line or in the store.

P.S. If you took pictures during the party post them on the Etsy Craft Party flickr page. Everyone loves pictures.
