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.
