I’ve been trying to recap this weekends Needles for Newborns event for almost a week now.  At first I thought it was the lack of sleep but I am starting to realize I might just be at a loss for words.
The event started at 8am Saturday morning and continued until somewhere around 3am on Sunday.  The store was packed with food donated by local restaurants.  I foolishly bought food the night before thinking we would not have enough, and I couldn’t have been more wrong.  A Super thanks to Nadine’s …

Well… exciting news after sad news.  If you bear with me for the sad news I promise a happy ending!  A few weeks ago City Art Supply located on Cherokee closed their doors.  As a local business owner it is always a little disheartening to hear of other businesses shutting down.  It also proves that St. Louis still has a ways to go in our efforts to shop locally.  But as they say, when a door closes another one opens and this story ends no differently.
