SHOPPER’S DELIGHT: Mother’s Day Edition!

Thursday, May 5, 7:00 – 10:00 pm


 

Our annual Holiday Shopper’s Delight is always such a big hit, so we’ve decided to have a festive shopper’s night for Mother’s Day, too. Why not enjoy a fun night out, have some refreshments, and get your shopping done all at the same time?

 

We have a whole new crop of merchandise — there’s something for all the moms in your life: grandma, sister, aunt, godmother, even your BFF. Check out our new jewelry, key chains, purses, market bags, aprons, bath products, picture frames, and more — don’t forget a card while you’re at it…

 

BONUS: Pick up a Teacher Appreciation gift, too!

 

Moms — if your family is looking for a little guidance, stop by this coming week to fill out a wish list!

Senbazuru

Posted by on March 25, 2011

 

Leonia’s Anna C. Scott School is putting together a senbazuru, a thousand-crane mobile, to express concern and sympathy for Japan. Along with the senbazuru, the school is running a fundraiser: “adopt” a crane for a small financial donation, which will be put toward relief efforts.

 

Want to help? Drop by The Craft Lounge during our regular business hours and make some cranes! We’ll have paper and directions on hand, and we’ll collect the cranes and deliver them to the school. Origami is quite relaxing, actually, and it’s a great craft for adults and kids alike.

 

No financial donation is necessary to make the cranes.
