February & March at TCL

Posted by on February 1, 2012

Our famous Felt Bunnies workshop for kids is back!

 

 

It may not feel like it out there, but February has arrived, and March is just around the corner. We’ve got some great workshops happening during both months.  Come on by for a Spa Night — we had requests for a new one before the last one was even over! Or, let us show you how to refresh your look by turning old or broken jewelry into brand new show-stoppers with our Reinvent Your Jewelry class. We’ve even got a couple of new specialized knit & crochet classes with Shaina, plus Decoupage Treasure Box workshops for both kids and adults.
Also, there’s still space in Classmate Valentines (leave the glue and glitter to us and keep it off your dining room table!) and Beaded Earrings. And, of course, don’t forget about Drop-in Saturdays!

DROP-IN SATURDAY: Sachets

Posted by on January 20, 2012

 

Come in out of the forecasted snow and make up a few little sachets with us. These sachets are easy to make and, stuffed with our homegrown lavender, they’ll make your dresser drawer (or someone else’s — they make a great little Valentine’s Day gift) smell like a French garden. So join us anytime between 12:00pm – 5:00pm on Saturday, January 21, and we’ll get you started! $20

Sunny Patch Clips have arrived!

Posted by on January 19, 2012

 

We are so excited about the hair accessories by our new artist, Michelle, creator of Sunny Patch Clips. The clips and headbands are simply adorable in any little girl’s hair.  (Of course, some adults buy them for themselves —  we won’t say who…) And the best feature? Each clip has a soft gripping tape on the inside, so it won’t slide out of even the most baby-fine hair.

Everyone knows about Crybaby Quilts baby items, but did you know that Corey also makes these fabulous reversible coasters, pouches, and toiletry bags? The pouches can be used for pencils, cosmetics, toothbrushes, or lunch utensils, and like the coasters, are made from BPA-free laminated cotton. Put a little color into your day with one of these babies!

Your kids might not know what LPs are, but YOU do… There may not be many turntables around anymore, but who says orphaned records should go to waste? Our friend Hope has turned her stash of records into these awesome bowls. We’re in love.

These ceramic vases by Jennifer are not only budget-friendly, but they cheer up a room during those dark winter months. Her mugs are equally festive, but you’ll have to come in quickly for one of those — they don’t stick around long in the shop!
