DIY/Crafter Sale August 4, 2009

Its time for our 2nd annual DIY/Crafter Sale!

Friday, August 7 (A Special Preview Sale: 20% off all DIY Sale items)
7 PM – 9 PM

Saturday August 8
11 AM -7 PM
Sunday August 9
12 PM – 6 PM

If you aren’t quite sure what DIY means, it stands for Do It Yourself, an Arts and Crafts movement that focuses on local artists and the creative recycling of materials into art and goods.  DIY is a great way to recycle and re-use fabric and clothes.

We think that all vintage clothing and accessories deserve a second chance.  In the course of buying for the store, we come across a lot of items that need extra TLC but are so great that we can not resist them.  We know that there are others out there who like to fix up and recreate vintage just as much as we do, so we decided to share our bounty.

If you like to craft, can sew on a button, or just have a great seamstress, we think you’ll enjoy looking through all the clothing, accessories, fabric, patterns, do-dads and buttons that are going to be on sale.

Hope to see you there!

Kara & Rebecca
