Okay, so I have to admit I’m not entirely clear on the programs they run, but they sound like they are good :) What draws me here are the items they have for sale at times which help run the center. My favorite — holiday cards. I came here for the LOLA Giant, I believe, and was so amazed by their Christmas cards. A bit gaudy, they are a fun change of pace from a typical Christmas card. They run about $ 2 – 6, depending on size, so you might not want to send one to everyone on your list, but certainly a few special someones. When I heard they had Valentine’s Days cards, I was there. They were just as impressive. They also had other items for sale, including: jewelry, fused glass art, magnets, and larger art items. If you like unique holiday gifts, I encourage you to get on the mailing list to be aware of events.
