Saturday April 27, 9am-1pm

Thank you to all of you who stopped by our Tag Sale last Saturday and scooped up some goodies for your art-making projects. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

While clearing up at the end of the day, we discovered another room full of things that never got put out for the Tag Sale — more fabric, more art parts, and several sewing machines ... some vintage items ... some quilts and quilt tops ... 

So we've decided to host another Tag Sale this Saturday, April 27, earlier in the day… 9am to 1pm.  

Details below -- let me know it you are interested in specific items and I will set them aside for you if you cannot come on Saturday.
