Hill's and AIDA
Hill's Gift's (on the corner of Broadway and Beacon) has teamed up with local artists and the Animals in Distress Association to raise money for our local bird and mammal rehab centre. The sale started yesterday and will run through next Saturday, May 9th. This week is Be Kind to Animals Week so the timing couldn't be better. Some of the artist's displaying their items are from our own Idaho Indie Works. There is a wide variety of items from jewelry and handmade soap to dog coats. The owners of Hill's have kindly let artists occupy a large area of the store right next to the post office. Five percent of artists' sales will go directly to Animals in Distress with Hill's Gifts making a matching donation.
So come on down and show your support, even if it's just to say hi to the artist volunteers who are running the area and check out this really fun and unique gift shop.

Hill's Craft Show
Yesterday several crafters and I set up our wares at Hill's Valu-Rite for a fun day of selling and camaraderie. This was the first Idaho Indie Works event that I have participated in so I got a chance to meet the people behind the shops. I had heard of most of them through the Google group, but putting a face to a name was a huge bonus for me. And let me say, what a great group of people they are. Not only are they fun to be around, but they are all extremely talented. Just being around all those creative people kept me buzzing all day. We shared stories and brainstormed on new ideas. It was so much fun and I can't wait to get together with everyone again.
Here is a look at some of the creative forces who participated in yesterday's show.
Laurie and Susan from TLG Crafts

A special thank you goes out to Marcia Hale who organized this for us and to the owners of Hill's Valu-Rite (1221 Broadway, on the corner of Broadway and Beacon next to Albertson's) for allowing us to share their store.
