I will be helping Brianna at the Indigenous Art Fair tomorrow at the Bloomington Civic Plaza. Please join us! She does beautiful beadwork as well as offering beading and jewelry supplies. Looks like rain-thank goodness it’s indoors! I will be closing out my dish towels. Hope to see you there!

Check out all the unique stuff up for auction at the Urban Boatbuilders fund raiser. Our daughter is an instructor there and I love that she teaches kids how to work with their hands and power tools and create useful things. Give it a look-see. Everything from canoes, kayaks, bikes, bowling, beer and more!
