in and help out with beading projects used
to support local charity causes like the local
Homeless Womens’ Shelter.
There are far too many
activities going on to talk
about them all at this
dynamic shop, which is
so much a part of the local community. For example, Patty has a special place in her shop for
little girls’ birthday parties called, Fairyland!
Her party bookings have
increased and Fairyland
isn’t even open until
early April.
In addition, this month she has organized a
Meal Train with volunteers from the Beading Den and surrounding community joining
to become what Patty calls ‘Helping Hands’.
Together, they made sure that a local family had an entire month of meals delivered
right to their door every day while the mother recovers from a devastating illness. I could go on,
believe me! It was a real
privilege to meet Patty and
see her shop in action!
