New this year at the Yart Sale, we will have a receptacle for collecting donations to the Central Community Closet. A group of KU and Central students are collecting hygiene items for free use by Central students to promote health, dignity, and confidence at school. Items needed include laundry detergent, deodorant, toilet paper, soap and body wash, cleaning supplies, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and flushable wipes. Pick up a few items on your next trip to the store, and bring them to donate at the YART SALE THIS SATURDAY MARCH 28TH, 8AM to 1pm.

Here's a video of me, Lane, wearing my Elna sweatshirt and telling you all about a pair of earrings I made. I've left the audio off (you're welcome) and replaced it with a Christmas song so that I can tell you it's not too late to get some Elna merch for a holiday gift! This shirt is a children's xl, which a wise man (our printer, Jeff) told me is like a women's medium. I have more of those! Plus zip hoodies and tee shirts and wishing bench shirts and and pride possum shirts and and and. You'll just have to email me about it. [email protected]. I'm happy to make local delivery. :)

We have our Adopt a Family 2025 wish list!  

Someone said to me recently that December just sort of snuck up on them.  Thanksgiving was so late this year, and all of a sudden it's December 1st.  Don't I know it! I'm sorry this notice is later than I wanted to send it,  BUT we DO have our family's wish list, and there IS still time to donate and get presents!

We have a family of five with a variety of interests and ideas. They'll be fun to shop for! In addition to at least two gifts for each kid and parent, we'd like to get them at least one outfit each.  PLUS grocery cards for their holiday meal. Email Lane at [email protected] to get a peek at the wishlist or if you'd like to arrange to contribute funds.

Let's gather (like in these fun photos from from last year!) on Thursday December 11th, 5:30pm, at Aaron's studio 835.5 Mass St.  (Paden Photography, above Ad Astra Running, red door just to the north of Ad Astra.  It is upstairs, so be mindful of that if you have accessibility issues.) We'll have cider and chili and collect and label the gifts.  If you want to stop by and drop off moneies for the cause at that time, that's cool too. NO WRAPPING this year, per our family's request, but if you want to bring wrapping supplies to gift to them, dandy.

We can do the remaining shopping over the weekend after the gathering and get the gifts to our family on Monday 12/15.
And one more thing! Please get gift receipts for the things you purchase if possible.

Alright? Alright! Email with your questions. Xo
