Sand Art at Farmer's Market


This Thursday we have some samples of Sand Art for you to try out. This project might not be as messy as it sounds. We'll find out for sure on Thursday from 5-8 pm.
Alex is our main manufacturer of art supplies and craft kits. We were reminiscing the other day that the very first order we placed when we opened our store was with Alex. We agonized over every item and flinched at the thought of having to buy 12 of any one item; would we ever sell that many?! 14 years later, Alex is still on our shelves and has always been one of our top selling lines. Kids of all ages need to explore their artistic side. Up until age 5, I always say "make a joyful mess!" Around 5, kids want to create, but they want their creations to look just like the picture on the box. Older kids need to explore different mediums and be more creative. Alex makes kits for all these needs.
Last Saturday we were in Fresno California visiting our brand new grandbaby Efrem (and his parents). We went to the Farmer's Market there. It was a great experience. Everything was grown locally and the variety was amazing.
