BIG thanks to YOU, our generous customers! We were successful in fulfilling ALL the wishes on the giving trees at BOTH of our stores for our "gifts from the heART" event.
We will be loading up all the creative donations on 12/26. Also, we'd like to say BIG thanks to the folks who also brought in all the wonderful, gently used supplies for these 3 independent, Portland art centers that inspire creativity with children: Art ala Carte, Vibe of Portland, and Portland Child Art Studio . For those of you who would like to keep the creative giving going these art centers are open to accepting creative donations at any time throughout the year!

WOW!
What an amazing day the people of Portland gifted us yesterday.
Folks came out in droves and supported loads of local businesses by playing Little Boxes.
We are so extremely grateful for this!
The good news is, if you didn't make it out yesterday,
you can still partake in all the Little Boxes fun today! Thank you for all your support!
Can you feel it?
A perfect storm of SAVINGS is brewing for you, our awesome customers!
