A joy giveaway!
and a reminder of our big sewing machine sale today
I know I promised to try limit my emails to once a month, but…
I listened to this amazing podcast episode the other day with drag queen and environmentalist Pattie Gonia on The Nature Of with Willa Defenbaugh. Pattie reminded me how incredibly important nature, art, and joy are at this moment. If you have a few moments, I encourage you to take a listen if you need a bit of hope today. I’m also including Pattie Gonia’s incredible music video with YoYo Ma at the bottom of this email for your musical pleasure today.
Anyhoo, Pattie and Willa’s conversation got me thinking a lot about art and joy and it reminded me of a joyful event we have coming up next weekend:
It’s called Stich and Snark- Crochet your Own F-Bomb. This class is led by artist and comedian, Lisa Ha. Lisa uses comedy as the secret ingredient to get more people interested in crochet. A crochentertainer (crochet + entertainer) known as Get to Hooking Crochet on social media, her irreverent tongue-in-cheek humor is broadly enjoyed by audiences across the globe, whether they crochet (yet) or not. I’d like to give away ten FREE spots to this class in order to spread a bit of joy here in Central Virginia. If you are in Lynchburg, sorry, this class was canceled there, but I think it will be well worth the drive up to Cville. The first ten people to reply to this email with a simple “sign me up” response will get in. If you are interested and are available next Sunday at 2:30, please reply now.
And speaking of worth the drive… our Sewing Machine Sale is happening today in our Cville location! There will be 14+ refurbished sewing machines available from trusted brands like Pfaff, Husqvarna Viking, Brother, Kenmore, Singer and Janome/New Home. These previously loved machines are in great working condition, come with manuals and many include cases and extra accessories. The sale of every machine will go directly to the local grocery card campaign.
I will try not to bombard your inbox any more this month. Sending love, light, and JOY! -Sarah
