Y’all. A quiet little wish we’ve had has come true. We broke ONE THOUSAND POUNDS of donated materials for 2026! A thousand pounds of arts and crafts supplies used in workshops, exchanged at craft swaps, and distributed for events and onto our retail floor in just nine months…that’s amazing, Helena! 💜 🐀
