Yay!! One of our favorite days – Earth Day – will be here soon (April 22), which means it’s also time for Downtown York’s Go Green in the City event! And The Bee will “bee’ there!
The event is THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 20, on N. Beaver Street between Market and Philadelphia streets, running from 10am to 3pm.
Look for our colourful Bee-made banners (which will be available for purchase, btw) strung in the tent, and show your support of creative reuse and traditional home arts with your purchase of a white rose pin or pop-top bracelet, recycled map business card holder, kid’s tee tote, and other cool stuff.
AND . . . if you have any large men’s button-up shirts you’d like to clear out of the closet, please bring them along to place in our collection bin. Bees have been “sew” buzzy deconstructing shirts to craft some delightful little girls’ dresses and you get the first look* at what we have up our sleeve (if you’ll pardon the pun) on Saturday.
This year our booth will be on Beaver Street right in front of our merchant partners, Arthur & Daughters and Sweet Melissa’s Dream. These two shop owners (Hilary Arthur and Melissa Grove, respectively) are amazing women who have offered loving and bountiful support to our efforts and I encourage you to visit their shops frequently not only to purchase from their great selection of goods, but also to thank them for nurturing local artists and enterprises to flourish alongside their own local business interests.
See you Saturday! (mention that you read this post and receive a FREE HUG and a $5-off coupon for an upcoming class!)
*Our Sunny Day Collection - fresh, sweet, girls’ dresses in three styles and six sizes – premiers exclusively at Arthur & Daughters early next month.
