We can't order supplies or anything like that, but we know how to knit, crochet, tat and embroider. Other volunteers do needlepoint, so we can help customers with just about anything. We have volunteers stopping by to help file patterns and bring food to Barbara. We're just meeting a need.

We wouldn't think of doing anything different.

We're going to close the store for Labor Day, which is typical, but I'm going to use the day to be at the booth at the fair. We'll have demonstrations of knitting, crocheting, tatting and Brazilian embroidery (as compared to three other types of embroidery), and we'll be able to tell folks when they can come in to the shop and learn the crafts for themselves.
