A local charity is planning an exciting new event that will attract crafters of all stripes including knitters, quilters, seamstresses and scrapbookers.
Granny?s Craft Cupboard is a giant one-day sale of new and gently-used donations of fabric, yarn, notions and every type of craft supply you can imagine.
The Valley Go-Go Sisters have booked the Invermere Community Hall for Saturday, May 18th and they would like to remind everyone to start setting aside items now. The group will start to collect donations in January, when drop-off locations will be announced.
?Everyone who does crafts ends up with leftover supplies,? said member Val James. ?I have many metres of fabric in my sewing cupboard and I?ll be happy to see it sold for such a good cause.?
The Grannies want all craft supplies that are in good shape, including buttons and ribbon, knitting needles, paper and paint, Christmas craft items, how-to books, magazines and patterns.
To minimize the workload of the volunteers, please donate only items that are clean and ready to sell. If donating yard goods, it would be most helpful to measure the width and length of each piece, and pin a note to the fabric.
For more information, call Mary-Ann at 250-341-3546 or watch the local media for drop-off locations beginning in January. It?s a great way to save the environment by recycling your old craft supplies, and seeing the money used for a good purpose.
The Valley Go-Go Sisters are an active chapter of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, a Canadian charity formed in 2003 to assist grandmothers in Africa whose families have been affected by HIV/AIDS.
