One Week Down



The first week opening after the pandemic is over. We had a good time and were very happy to hear from many of you! The shop hours are still morphing as we move ahead. We are even hoping to be able to schedule some one on one trunk show appointments for all the goodies that are not in the shop. Remember way back in January and February where I spent a week shopping out of state? Orders arriving back then from overseas too? Excitement was building? Well, those beads and gems are all still waiting to be seen! I must say they look pretty dang good. Especially since the shop has been cleaned top to bottom. Stay in touch and watch FB for postings on the availability of trunk showings. Of course, masks will be required and sanitizer used.

I have always found over the decades of my life in the art and crafts field, that creativity draws us together even as politics and issues can draw us apart. Creating is communicating on a level that is primal, needed and ascends the boundaries of hatred and politics and the ugliness that can seem to prevail in so much of the world today. We are one, filled and inspired to create and when you feel your voice is silenced or so small as to not be heard; say it loud with your creativity. Whether it be beading, painting, drawing, knitting, metalwork, embroidery, writing, sculpture or pottery; craft strong, craft well and speak out and up through craft, I have always believed that the process of being creative is a uniting force. One filled with light and love and passion for the spoken and visual word and each other.

In the meantime, we remain open Thursdays through Mondays, 11-5:30. Craft On! Be well.
