We got a new larger button press (3.5 inches!!) but something is wrong with it. Are you mechanically minded? Do you think you could fix it? If you’d like to take on this challenge, stop by anytime that we are open (12-8pm). If you’d fix the machine, you get the chance to make the first 3.5” button!

Covid Conscious Craft Circle April edition!!
6-8 pm Saturday April 11

We missed y'all last month 😿 but very excited to hopefully see you soon!

Wear a mask and bring a craft (and a friend?) for some cozy community time. We've got plenty of drawing, letter writing, and art making supplies in the store but we also welcome bringing your own supplies 🧶🖊🎨

This is a mask required event! Air purification and a limited supply of masks will be available (P.S. we have lotsa rapid tests on our free shelf too!)

If you are sick/symptomatic or recently exposed to someone sick/symptomatic with covid or another virus or cold, please stay home! It takes trust and care to come together, and we have disabled and immunocompromised people to watch out for. With love, we'll see you next month!
