Life Threads sale!! Check it out!

Our sale is fast approaching!! The sale is going to be a week from Tuesday at my old photogrpahy studio- 1111 Godfrey, Grand Rapids MI from 6-8. I am STRONGLY encouraging any of you that are planning on coming to bring your kids so you can try the clothes on them. With so many people doing the sewing the sizes vary a little bit, and I think they seem to run a bit small, and since I don’t have big kids, I have no idea how the size 6 and 8 fit. So…  just bring your kids with you :)

And I am soooo  happy that so many fabulous people want to support our work in Africa, but at this time we will not be selling the clothes on-line. It is just to tricky with the sizing. So… here’s how it will work. At 6pm on June 8, the doors will open at 6pm on the dot. The sale will be first come, first serve. In fairness to everyone we can not hold clothes aside for people. Anything that is left at the end of the 2 hours I will be selling at our garage sale on the 10th and 11th and anything that is left after that I will post onto the blog and will sell on line.  Thank you all so much for being so understanding and not asking me to save you stuff, or sell stuff on line. I feel bad because whenever anyone asks me to save them something or to send it to them if they live out of town I want to…     but its just not fair to everyone else who is patiently waiting for the sale. I love you all and do appreciate your support!!

I managed to take a few pictures of a few of the dresses and thought I would post them here!  There is more stuff….  but I of course have not had a chance to take pictures. We have a couple more style dresses, some ruffle capris, newborn hats that a wonderful friend crochet, some darling shoes that match the outfits, tutu’s, little tie shirts for boys and whatever else shows up on my doorstep between now and tuesday. Everything will range in price from $30-$55.

Life threads!!!

Well my friends. It is finally figured out. Set in Stone. Never to change again. The Life Threads for Africa sale is going to be on Tuesday June 8 from 6-8. The sale will be taking place at the Shoot Shack studio (my old photography studio for those of you that have been there…) 1111 Godfrey, in Grand Rapids. We have sizes ranging from 6 months up to 8 for girls and some shirts for boys in infant up to 5t (I think…)  We are having our final sew-a-thon on Thursday, and after that I will start photographing some of the outfits and posting it here so you can see if you want to come to the sale or not ;)

As far as our other fund raisers….   The only other date that is finalized is the Golf outing that will be on July 24. Details for that are still coming, but put it on your calendars!! We do have a few other things in the works, but dates are getting switched around due to a few scheduling conflicts.  We are still taking donations for our garage sale. If you have any junk let us know!! Feel free to drop it on our porch;) 4163 Meadowfield, 49426.
