Hi friend — I’m Donna, and this is my little craft store in Backus, Minnesota. It’s less of a “store” and more of a big craft table with the lights on: twice a week we make a project together, Saturday mornings you can come browse, shop, or work on your own thing, and the rest of the time I’m happy to open up by appointment.
Project nights
Tuesdays & Thursdays, 6–8 pm. Each night is one project from the monthly calendar — resin, candles, cards, loom knitting, you name it. Most nights are $10–$20 with supplies included, and you take your project home finished.

Seats are limited — booking ahead means your kit is waiting for you.
Store hours
| Tuesday | 6:00–8:00 pm — project night |
| Thursday | 6:00–8:00 pm — project night |
| Saturday | 9:00 am–1:00 pm — open store |
| Other times | By appointment — just ask! |
I work a full-time job too, so these hours are when the craft table is yours.
Kits & supplies
Every calendar project is also available as a take-home kit, and the store stocks the supplies we use on project nights. Can’t make a night? Grab the kit on Saturday and make it at home.
Custom orders welcome — tumblers, shirts, gifts. Message me with your idea.

Crafting at home?
The free Craft Night Checklist and the $7 Kit Planner are the exact system I use to run these nights — tray setup, per-guest kits, and all.
See you at the craft table! — Donna
