More Items, More Photos!

Mom here, We're rapidly trying to replenish our crochet inventory after the virtual sell-out at our 5/1 Millis Roche Bros sale! On 5/7, from 9am-3pm at the Millis Roche Bros, we'll also have beaded charm bracelets for sale for Mother's Day! Please let us know if you'd like to help crochet or knit with our supplies! Thanks!

Charm bracelets like these will be available for $10 at our 5/7, 9am-3pm Roche Bros sale to benefit the Millis Ecumenical Food Pantry and the Millis Purr-Fect Cat Shelter!

We've had bags in every color of the rainbow, and then some! On 5/7 we'll definitely have lime green, American stripes, pink, pink/purple, Girl Scout green, turquoise, brown, and other color bags along with 18" doll bags in many colors! They make wonderful Mother's Day gifts!

Let us know if you want to reserve a specific toy or bag color as we have limited yarn remaining and try to use scraps of yarn on the toys so we can't always make more of any one toy!

Crochet or Shop With Us at Casa

Hi, this is Nekhebet, I am thanking the Millis Senior Center because yesterday we worked with them on making bags. It was fun and was our second time at the senior center! Thank you!

Now today and tomorrow, we're at our grandparent's store in downtown Beverly to teach crochet and sell our bags and toys! Come down to 272 Cabot St, Beverly from 10-6 to pick some up or drop in for an hour or two and help create items with us! Uatchet posed for a photo of our little display!

Cat Toy Gallery

Quick update from Mom... Every single cat toy sold out on Sunday! We ran down to one produce bag and three doll bags (that we made during the sale)! We're working hard to finish up with all the bag bases that we have and yarn that is left so that we have goods to sell on Saturday 5/7 at Roche Bros in Millis and then will rest and crochet more for the June 18th sale during Beverly Arts Fest in front of 272 Cabot St! Let us know if you'd like to help crochet or knit with our supplies! Thanks!

Please note that new toys are always being added and sold! Let us know if you want to reserve a specific toy as we try to use scraps of yarn and can't always make more of any one toy!
