A few weeks ago, a nice woman from Portland, OR contacted us. She’s heard about our store, which was kind of a thrill since we’re thousands of miles away from one another. Anyhow, she told us all about her line of “cactus” linens, and we were definitely intrigued. Well, today we received a box bursting with cactus-y goodness — his & hers pillowcases and cactus-themed tea towels. Who knew cactuses could be so clever and cute? I’m trying to think of someone who’s having an anniversary, because the pillowcases would be the perfect gift.
Thanks for helping us celebrate!
Wow. What a fun night we had celebrating our 2nd year anniversary. Thanks to everybody who turned up. We ate tons of cookies, drank quite a bit of raspberry quince iced tea and caught up on everyone’s summer activities. Oh, and we have winner for the Free Workshop Raffle. Susan Grey is the lucky recipient. Congrats, Susan.
Thanks for all your support. We couldn’t keep The Craft Lounge running without your generous support. We’re VERY grateful!
We’re celebrating our SECOND anniversary!
Wow! It’s hard to believe it’s already been two years. We hope you’ll stop by The Craft Lounge during Leonia’s National Night Out for some tasty treats, Jen’s signature iced tea, and a chance to win a free workshop at The Craft Lounge:

Bring a little beach home with you
We thought it might be fun to bring some of the beach back home. So, on July 15th from 2:15-3:15PM, kids are invited to sign up to make these cute beachy picture frames.
We’ll start with a solid, wood frame and we’ll bust out the sand and seashells for maximum beach effect! If you’d like to sign up your kids, please register here: Class Registration.
Transform a pillowcase into a slingbag!
So, you know how to thread your machine and how to make it go. Let’s put that knowledge to good use! On Tuesday, July 6 from 7-9PM, we’ll be teaching a fun sewing class where we show you a great trick we discovered in the new Martha Stewart’s Sewing and Fabric Crafts Book. We’ll help you transform an ordinary pillowcase into an extraordinary sling bag. There are still a few spaces open if you’d like to sign up: Class Registration.
Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there!
Have a swell weekend. The weather looks very promising! If you need a last-minute Father’s Day card or gift, The Craft Lounge has got the goods. We hope to see you soon!
