WOWZA! Our loading dock has been filled up (THANK YOU) and we need some time to process everything so donations are paused until further notice (unless you have already made an appointment or been in contact about a donation already)!

Please hold off on bringing even small donations to us right now, we are working through what we have to get it out on the floor for our amazing customers!

We will resume donations as soon as we are able to! If you are interested in volunteering to help us speed things up, send us an email at [email protected]!

We had a blast at this event, thank you Demuth Museum of Art for inviting us! The kids enjoyed our junk journal table and made some incredible pieces of art! We even received a junk journal "thank you" note from one of the participants!
