We are going because one of our dear customers (and friend) Diana Boyd from @seeyasista is showcasing one of her works (not the one pictured here). She is the master of turning some ones trash into a treasure.  A champion for the upcycling revolution. 

These events are a wonderful way to help support our local artisans and build a better and more interconnected community. 

Love,
