It's hard to come into the store and not leave without ideas. When entering the store, you will come up with ideas about what in your house you could donate, what you can decorate your home with, and how can you make your projects bigger and better!
Happy Creating!

From markers pens, pencils to rubber bands and dividers, paper, toner, ink and some brand new furniture! 8:00 am - 12:30 pm on Saturday, March 12th. Everything must go, rock bottom prices. |

Community Chain - Open studio time for all! Link our communities together!
 Come help us make MILES of Community Chain out of used bill board materials. Its built with dollar-bill size folded pieces. Add your links! We will provide all the materials. This chain will be re-used several times in the community - linking us all together - and will ultimately be installed early this summer at the corner of Main and Neil in Champaign IL on the fence surrounding the Metropolitan Building Fire site.
