Reminder that our September donation pause starts tomorrow!! Thank you for your patience and understanding! 💕📦🫙

We’re taking a donation pause for the month of September (and a few days in October to get past ArtScene!) Thank you for your patience and understanding! 📦

Some rapid fire questions:

1. Why pause??? We’ve just about run out of space to store our backlog of donations again! This pause gives us time to safely catch up on processing supplies, and also re-organize/adjust our sorting processes and space!

2. When can I donate again?? Donations will start back up October 6th!

3. What if I can’t wait? If you have an urgent deadline to move supplies, you can try at the other awesome creative reuse centers in Illinois/Wisconsin! Or your local general thrift shop! Or FB marketplace/groups are an option too! We’re happy to help point you to some potential spots!

4. Can I please help you sort?? Yes, soon! 😊 We’re planning our first ever sorting session! Coming sooooon!

5. How else can we help? Keep showing up and keep shopping secondhand supplies first! And tell your friends! 🥰 We’ll be putting out tons of supplies all month! And stay tuned for another Fill-a-Bag sale 👀

Thank you as always for supporting our little shop! We’ll see you at the shop soon!🫙💕
