These gorgeous “penny rugs” will make an appearance at the Craft and Bake Sale on Saturday, July 26 from 9AM-1PM. Crafter Karen Hopkins has this to say about her donations, “These are made with wool and contain at least one coin within their stitches. That way, the owner will never be ‘penniless!’ Making these makes me ‘sew happy!’” THANK YOU, Karen, for supporting SBHS and helping to preserve local history.

If you’d like to donate an item for our upcoming sale, please reach out by sending us a message.
