We are so happy that these gorgeous new pieces by Lisa have arrived, just in time for Valentine’s Day. And believe it or not, this is just a small sample of our new stash. Come by and see for yourself — or send in your valentine to pick out something special!
Don’t let the snow ruin your Valentine’s Day! It may have been impossible to get anywhere yesterday, but today we’re open and ready with gorgeous handmade gifts in every price range. So come on in out of the cold and pick up a trinket to heat up your Valentine’s Day!
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!
