We will also have kits available at the shop, please stop by to pick up one (or two).

We have free pillowcase kits available! We donate all pillowcases to Ryan's Care for Smiles, who in turn distributes them to children battling serious illness. Pick one up next time you're in the shop, then complete it and return on your schedule.  |
We also have free small kennel quilts available. These little quilts are sent to shelters who take in pets displaced by natural disaster.
