Drop by our Pop-Up Little Free Library table at the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market to take a book or a leave book!

Whatever genre, topic, or author, if there is a book you love and want to recommend to fellow community members, come let us know and be part of this fun and unique project!

Textile Printing and Embroidery Workshops
& Garment Gifting Project

At these hands-on workshops, we will learn block printing and embroidery techniques to add beautiful designs to textiles. Participants will be invited to work with a garment from a local thrift store, which will then be donated back to the thrift store with a meaningful handcrafted touch for it's next owner. You are also welcome to bring your own garment if you would like to liven up a piece of clothing you already own, just make sure it is a light colour and 100% cotton.

We will be having community clothing swaps at these workshops! If you like, bring your valued but no longer used clothing to exchange for something new to you! Clothing swaps are not only a good way to refresh your wardrobe but also an act of environmentalism and community sharing.
