Craft Swap!

CRAFTswap Sunday, September 26th from 1p – 4p. Happy Delusions, 924 S. 3rd St. Renton WA. 98057.

One person’s old stack of craft supplies could be another person’s pile of inspiration! Bring any used or unused craft or art supplies and swap them for FREE!!!!

Remember when you were gonna start making jewelry, but then found you weren’t into it. All that supply you bought will be perfect for someone else, just think you can snag up someone else’s yarn because really you just want to knit. Oh wait! I think I’m talking about me. So I know what I’m bringing, and hoping to take home.

Any supplies left over at the end of the day will be donated to our local Salvation Army. Think of it as a great way to clear out space for supply you might actually use, instead of hanging on to those trinkets that you haven’t been able to get rid of because you know they could be perfect for some craft that you’ll never do.

Suggestions of things to bring; fabric scraps or remnants, scrapbooking supplies, rubber stamps, kids crafts, craft storage, beads, jewelry supplies, yarn, thread, stickers, sewing notions, anything that might inspire or be used in handmade crafts.

And be sure to let Me know if you bring something to swap so you can receive a $5.00 gift card to the store. Oh yeah! You win twice when you come to happy delusions.

Oh, and be sure to give a great big hug to Kelly of tomato tomato design + print because this wouldn’t be happening without her, and she’s basically one of the biggest rockstars I know. Thanks Kell!

holiday party

On the 5th day of December happy delusions gave to me, 4 yummy cookies, 3 cups of juice, 2 glasses of wine, and 1 awesome holiday party!

And I know you don’t want to miss out on all the fun. So join us from 4-8 for some holiday cheer, and great local shopping. We have paired up with all the fun happenings in DTR. Starting at 3, Dicken’s Carolers will be strolling the streets singing and dressed straight out of a Dicken’s novel. Roasted Chestnuts, and Hot Cider await your cold hands, and a special performance by our own Captain Terry and his Salvation Army Band. Then be sure to head up to the piazza for the tree lighting and arrival of Santa Claus himself. Hurry to get a good spot in line at the Santa house, where you can take a photo with the jolly fellow and download it online for free. Then come back down to warm up. Oh so much fun to be had, I can’t wait to see you here.
