Our Story
As loved ones in our lives passed away, we were blessed with a wide variety of craft materials which we fondly call 'Forever Stuff'.
We didn't want to see useful treasures go to the landfill so we searched for places to share craft supplies other than traditional thrift stores. Reaching out to others we learned many people were in a similar spot. We also discovered artists and crafters that were looking for supplies at discounted prices.
We designed this store to be staffed by volunteer artisans and return our profits to local organizations in need.
