Dear Friends,
The heart wrenching tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut has
us reeling and bereft. Somehow we
must attempt to honor the memory of those killed and offer a gesture of hope
into that gaping darkness of loss.
For 26 working days (when we are open), beginning on the 21st of
December, we will be giving one percent of all sales to the Albuquerque Public
Schools Title One Homeless Project.
We’ll also have a collection jar (if you simply want to donate) and 2
cards to sign: one for the Sandy Hook PTA and one for the folks who run the APS
Title One Homeless Project. (http://www.aps.edu/title-i/homeless-project)
All children are our children. All families are our families. The Reverend Martin Luther King said it eloquently, “We are
caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of
destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
At the store, we are heartened and feel hopeful about
the world when you tell us about your projects, what you are creating, who you
are making something for. Daily,
we are witness to friendships formed, stories and journeys shared. In ways
large and small, our little store is a garment of community and caring
constantly woven. We are grateful
for your presence in our lives.
Suzanne and Carla
