The Curious Crafter Madison

08/27/2026

🫶 Hi, friends. 🩵

🐶 On this National Dog Day, our amazing Dog CEO Sora wants to share the spotlight (shocking, I know) and celebrate the amazing light and legacy of Dolly Parton. What an icon, role model, and beacon of acceptance. We are all devastated by this loss and inspired to carry on a bit of her good where we can. What would Dolly do? Help the kids.

🦋 All weekend, we will be selling pairs of these cutout wooden butterflies for $5 at our studio. Decorate one for yourself and one to gift a loved one. 100% of the sales from these will go to the Madison Reading Project, Inc. - the local partner of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library helping to get books in the hands of all children. Not in the Madison area this weekend? We have put their information in the comments to help their incredible cause. 📚
