Think WARM!!!

Do you feel that new chill in the air too?  The days are still nice, but first thing in the morning, and at night, we're starting to get a hint of what's on the way!  Which reminds me...

It's time to put out Our Mother's Keepers' donation bin to collect new knitted (and crocheted) winter accessories (hats, mittens, scarves, winter socks, etc.) to be distributed to children and adults in our community who need them.  Last year Our Mother's Keepers donated 24 hats, 7 pairs of mitts, 2 pairs of socks, and 2 beautifully knit baby blankets to our local Family Resource Centre.  Thanks to everyone who donated last year, and we look forward to the generous support of our wonderful customers again this year.  If you're not a knitter or crocheter, you can still help keep someone warm this winter by purchasing these items at your local department store or craft sale instead; as long as they're new, it doesn't matter if they're handcrafted or not.  Share some warmth; it will give you a warm feeling inside!

Thank you!
