Top 1 - Week of Dec 7th + Blog Feature + Reminders

Hey Reusers!

Instead of a Top 3 post (like usual) we wanted to highlight an amazing donation we received last week.


Whole banker's boxed full of wooden spools, styrofoam balls, felt, ribbon, buttons, beads, stickers, and so, so, so, so, so much more. We were so excited to open these boxes full of such awesome things (it was like opening presents before Christmas - all the excitement and none of the waiting)! Thanks for the donation!

We also got an awesome message today that we were featured on a blog. Read all the nice things that Jumbish has to say about our little shop: READ THE BLOG POST

Also just some reminders about our modified hours this week and the continuation of our holiday promotions. Only 6 themed bags left!



Happy Reusing, folks!

We're trying out a couple of promotions for the month of December. There are two ways to get some free stuff for you (or someone you know) during the holiday season:
