Stripes, "That's a fact Jack"

Do you remember the movie, "Stripes?" That popped in my head as soon as opened this box of striped scarves from Angie. That quote, "that's a fact Jack", also jumped in my brain. lol Fun movie for sure. So are these scarves...fun for sure. Angie is a fellow Ohioan. I divided her colorful scarves by size. Some for men, some for women, some for kids/teens.
This is box 2 of Angie's donation. Many thanks Angie, our newest pair of helping hands for your donation. Hope to see you here often.

As the year approaches an end, I'd like you all to spend some time looking around the blog. New things have been added, additionally information. Through time our mission has changed a bit. Please read the updates. The part of our mission though that has remained constant is our quest to help those in need with handmade...hand knit/crocheted/loomed items. Handmade send such an important message of hope.
